Acts 23:16-22

Anderson(i) 16 But the son of Paul's sister heard of the plot, and he went and entered the fortress, and told Paul. 17 And Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said: Conduct this young man to the officer, for he has something to tell him. 18 So he took him, and led him to the officer, and said: The prisoner Paul called me to him, and requested me to conduct this young man to you; for he has something to tell you. 19 And the officer took him by the hand, and went aside with him privately, and in quired: What is it that you have to tell me? 20 He answered: The Jews have agreed to request you to bring Paul down into the Sanhedrin to-morrow, as if they intended to inquire some thing more accurately concerning him. 21 Do not, however, be persuaded by them; for more than forty men of them are lying in wait for him; and they have bound themselves under a curse, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for a promise from you. 22 Then the officer sent the young man away, with this charge: Tell no one that you have made these things known to me.
