*
Now the son of Paul '
s sister heard of their ambush ;
so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul .
*
And Paul called one of the centurions and said , "
Take this young man to the tribune ;
for he has something to tell him ."
*
So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said , "
Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you ,
as he has something to say to you ."
*
The tribune took him by the hand ,
and going aside asked him privately , "
What is it that you have to tell me ?"
*
And he said , "
The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow ,
as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him .
*
But do not yield to them ;
for more than forty of their men lie in ambush for him ,
having bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him ;
and now they are ready ,
waiting for the promise from you ."
*
So the tribune dismissed the young man ,
charging him , "
Tell no one that you have informed me of this ."
