* And when Pauls sisters son heard (5660 ) of their lying in wait , he went (5637 ) and entered (5631 ) into the castle , and told (5656 ) Paul . * Then Paul called (5666 ) one of the centurions unto him , and said (5713 ), Bring (5628 ) this young man unto the chief captain : for he hath (5719 ) a certain thing to tell (5658 ) him . * So he took (5631 ) him , and brought (5627 ) him to the chief captain , and said (5748 ), Paul the prisoner called (5666 ) me unto him , and prayed me (5656 ) to bring (5629 ) this young man unto thee , who hath (5723 ) something to say (5658 ) unto thee . * Then the chief captain took (5637 ) him by the hand , and went with him aside (5660 ) privately , and asked (5711 ) him , What is (5748 ) that thou hast (5719 ) to tell (5658 ) me ? * And he said (5627 ), The Jews have agreed (5639 ) to desire (5658 ) thee that thou wouldest bring down (5632 ) Paul to morrow into the council , as though they would (5723 ) enquire (5738 ) somewhat of him more perfectly . * But do not thou yield (5686 ) unto them : for there lie in wait for (5719 ) him of them more than forty men , which have bound themselves with an oath (5656 ), that they will neither eat (5629 ) nor drink (5629 ) till they have killed (5661 ) him : and now are they (5748 ) ready , looking for (5740 ) a promise from thee . * So the chief captain then let the young man depart (5656 ), and charged (5660 ) him , See thou tell (5658 ) no man that thou hast shewed (5656 ) these things to me .
