Acts 23:19-22

NSB(i) 19 The commander took him by the hand and led him off by himself, and asked: »What do you have to tell me?« 20 He said: »The Jewish authorities have agreed to ask you tomorrow to take Paul down to the Council. They want you to pretend the Council wants to get more accurate information about him. 21 »Do not give in to them. There are more than forty men lying in wait for him. They are united with an oath that they will neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready and looking for a promise from you.« 22 So the commander sent the young man away commanding, »Tell no one that you have told these things to me.«
