Acts 23:20-22

Twentieth_Century(i) 20 "The Jews have agreed," answered the lad, "to ask you to bring Paul down before the Council to-morrow, on the plea of your making further inquiry into his case. 21 But do not let them persuade you, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him, who have taken an oath that they will not eat or drink, till they have made away with him; and they are at this very moment in readiness, counting upon your promise." 22 The Commanding Officer then dismissed the lad, cautioning him not to mention to anybody that he had given him that information.
