* And when there arose (5637 ) a great dissension , the chief captain , fearing (5685 ) lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces (5686 ) of them , commanded (5656 ) the soldiers to go down (5631 ), and to take him by force (5658 ) from among them , and to bring (5721 ) him into the castle . * And the night following (5752 ) the Lord stood by (5631 ) him , and said (5627 ), Be of good cheer (5720 ), Paul : for as thou hast testified (5662 ) of me in Jerusalem , so must (5748 ) thou bear witness (5658 ) also at Rome . * And when it was (5637 ) day , certain of the Jews banded together (5660 ), and bound themselves under a curse (5656 ), saying (5723 ) that they would neither eat (5629 ) nor drink (5629 ) till they had killed (5725 ) Paul . * And they were (5713 ) more than forty which had made (5761 ) this conspiracy . * And they came to (5631 ) the chief priests and elders , and said (5627 ), We have bound (5656 ) ourselves under a great curse , that we will eat (5664 ) nothing until we have slain (5725 ) Paul . * Now therefore ye with the council signify (5657 ) to the chief captain that he bring him down (5632 ) unto you to morrow , as though ye would (5723 ) enquire (5721 ) something more perfectly concerning him : and we , or ever he come near (5658 ), are (5748 ) ready to kill (5629 ) him .
