Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ So the colonel took him by the arm, stepped to one side so as to be alone, and asked him, "What is it you have to tell me?" ²⁰ He answered, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though you were going to examine his case more carefully. ²¹ But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him; they have taken an oath not to eat or drink till they have killed him. They are all ready now, just waiting for your promise." ²² So the colonel sent the young man away, with strict directions not to tell anybody that he had notified him of this plot.
