Acts 23:12-24

12AndG1161 when it wasG1096 dayG2250, certainG5100 of the JewsG2453 bandedG4160 togetherG4963, and boundG332 themselvesG1438 under a curseG332, saying thatG3004 they wouldG5315 neitherG3383 eatG5315 norG3383 drinkG4095 tillG2193 they had killedG615 PaulG3588G3972.

13AndG1161 they wereG1510 moreG4119 than fortyG5062 whichG3588 had madeG4160 thisG3778 conspiracyG3588G4945.

14And theyG3748 cameG4334 to the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG4245, and saidG3004, We have boundG332 ourselvesG1438 under a great curseG331, that we will eatG1089 nothingG3367 untilG2193 we have slainG615 PaulG3588G3972.

15NowG3568 thereforeG3767 yeG4771 withG4862 the councilG3588G4892 signifyG1718 to the chief captainG3588G5506 thatG3704 he bringG2609 himG846 downG2609 untoG4314 youG4771 to morrowG839, as thoughG5613 ye wouldG3195 enquireG1231 something more perfectlyG199 concerningG4012 himG846: andG1161 weG1473, or everG4253 heG846 come nearG1448, areG1510 readyG2092 to killG337 himG846.

16And whenG1161 Paul’sG3972 sister’sG3588G79 sonG3588G5207 heardG191 of their lying in waitG3588G1749, he wentG3854 andG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the castleG3588G3925, and toldG518 PaulG3588G3972.

17ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 calledG4341 oneG1520 of the centurionsG3588G1543 unto him, and saidG5346, BringG520 thisG3778 young manG3588G3494 untoG4314 the chief captainG3588G5506: forG1063 he hathG2192 a certain thingG5100 to tellG518 himG846.

18SoG3767 he tookG3880 himG846, and broughtG71 him toG4314 the chief captainG3588G5506, andG2532 saidG5346, PaulG3972 the prisonerG3588G1198 calledG4341 meG1473 untoG4341 him, and prayed meG2065 to bringG71 thisG3778 young manG3588G3494 untoG4314 theeG4771, who hathG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG2980 unto theeG4771.

19ThenG1161 the chief captainG3588G5506 tookG1949 himG846 by the handG3588G5495, andG2532 wentG402 with him asideG2596 privatelyG2398, and askedG4441 him, WhatG5101 isG1510 thatG3739 thou hastG2192 to tellG518 meG1473?

20AndG1161 he saidG3004, The JewsG2453 have agreedG4934 to desireG2065 theeG4771 thatG3704 thou wouldest bring downG2609 PaulG3588G3972 to morrowG839 intoG1519 the councilG3588G4892, as thoughG5613 they would enquireG4441 somewhatG5100 ofG4012 himG846 moreG3195 perfectlyG199.

21ButG3767 doG3982 notG3361 thouG4771 yieldG3982 unto themG846: forG1063 there lie in waitG1748 for himG846 ofG1537 themG846 moreG4119 than fortyG5062 menG435, whichG3748 have boundG332 themselvesG1438 with an oathG332, thatG3739 they willG5315 neitherG3383 eatG5315 norG3383 drinkG4095 tillG2193 they have killedG337 himG846: andG2532 nowG3568 are theyG1510 readyG2092, looking forG4327 a promiseG1860 fromG575 theeG4771.

22SoG3767 the chief captainG5506 then letG630 the young manG3588G3494 departG630, and chargedG3853 him, See thou tellG1583 no manG3367 thatG3754 thou hast shewedG1718 these thingsG3778 toG4314 meG1473.

23AndG2532 heG5100 calledG4341 unto him twoG1417 centurionsG3588G1543, sayingG3004, Make readyG2090 two hundredG1250 soldiersG4757 toG3704 goG4198 toG2193 CæsareaG2542, andG2532 horsemenG2460 threescore and tenG1440, andG2532 spearmenG1187 two hundredG1250, atG575 the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the nightG3588G3571;

24AndG5037 provideG3936 them beastsG2934, thatG2443 they may setG1913 PaulG3588G3972 onG1913, and bringG1295 him safeG1295 untoG4314 FelixG5344 the governorG3588G2232.
