Acts 23:12-14

Thomson(i) 12 And in the course of the day some of the Jews, having entered into a conspiracy, bound themselves by the solemn Anathema, saying they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 And there were more than forty who took this oath, 14 and who went to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves by the solemn Anathema not to taste any thing till we have slain Paul.
