MLV(i)
12 Now when it became day, some of the Jews made a conspiracy and they vowed for themselves, saying, they were neither to eat nor to drink until they should have killed Paul.
13 Now they were more-than forty who had made this gang;
14 who came to the high-priests and the elders and said, We have vowed to be accursed, to taste nothing until we should have killed Paul.
15 Therefore now, you, together with the council, disclose it to the commander that he should be led to you the next-day, as if being about to investigate more accurately the things concerning him. Now we are ready to assassinate him before he draws near.
16 But Paul’s sister’s son, having heard of their murderous plot, came and entered into the encampment and reported to Paul.
17 Now Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Lead this young-man away to the commander; for he has something to report to him.
18 Therefore indeed, he took him and led him to the commander and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, asked me to lead this young-man to you, who has something to say to you.
19 Now the commander grabbed his hand and departed privately, and was inquiring, What is it that you have to report to me?
20 Now he said, The Jews themselves have covenanted together to ask you that you should lead Paul into the Jewish council the next-day, as if being about to inquire more accurately something concerning him. 21 Therefore you, do not be persuaded by them; for more-than forty out of them are plotting against him, who have vowed for themselves neither to eat nor to drink until they should have assassinated him, and they are ready now, waiting for the promise from you.
22 Therefore indeed, the commander dismissed the young-man, having commanding him to tell no one that you have disclosed these things to me.
