asv @Acts:23:12 @And when it was day , the Jews banded together , and bound themselves under a curse , saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul . asv @Acts:23:13 @And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy . asv @Acts:23:14 @And they came to the chief priests and the elders , and said , We have bound ourselves under a great curse , to taste nothing until we have killed Paul . asv @Acts:23:15 @Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you , as though ye would judge of his case more exactly : and we , before he comes near , are ready to slay him . asv @Acts:23:16 @But Paul 's sister 's son heard of their lying in wait , and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul . asv @Acts:23:17 @And Paul called unto him one of the centurions , and said , Bring this young man unto the chief captain ; for he hath something to tell him . asv @Acts:23:18 @So he took him , and brought him to the chief captain , and saith , Paul the prisoner called me unto him , and asked me to bring this young man unto thee , who hath something to say to thee . asv @Acts:23:19 @And the chief captain took him by the hand , and going aside asked him privately , What is it that thou hast to tell me ? asv @Acts:23:20 @And he said , The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council , as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him . asv @Acts:23:21 @Do not thou therefore yield unto them : for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men , who have bound themselves under a curse , neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him : and now are they ready , looking for the promise from thee . asv @Acts:23:22 @So the chief captain let the young man go , charging him , Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me . asv @Acts:23:23 @And he called unto him two of the centurions , and said , Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea , and horsemen threescore and ten , and spearmen two hundred , at the third hour of the night : asv @Acts:23:24 @and [he bade them ] provide beasts , that they might set Paul thereon , and bring him safe unto Felix the governor . asv @Acts:23:25 @And he wrote a letter after this form : asv @Acts:23:26 @Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix , greeting . asv @Acts:23:27 @This man was seized by the Jews , and was about to be slain of them , when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him , having learned that he was a Roman . asv @Acts:23:28 @And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him , I brought him down unto their council : asv @Acts:23:29 @whom I found to be accused about questions of their law , but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds . asv @Acts:23:30 @And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man , I sent him to thee forthwith , charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee . asv @Acts:23:31 @So the soldiers , as it was commanded them , took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris . asv @Acts:23:32 @But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him , and returned to the castle : asv @Acts:23:33 @and they , when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor , presented Paul also before him . asv @Acts:23:34 @And when he had read it , he asked of what province he was ; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia , asv @Acts:23:35 @I will hear thee fully , said he , when thine accusers also are come : and he commanded him to be kept in Herod 's palace .
