17. When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound
themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they
had killed Paul. There were more than forty who made this
conspiracy. They went to the chief priests and elders and
said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste
no food till we have killed Paul.
Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice to
the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were
going to determine his case more exactly. And we are
ready to kill him before he comes near."
Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, so he
went and entered the barracks and told Paul. Paul called
one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to
the tribune, for he has something to tell him."
18. 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 be persuaded by them, for more than forty of
their men are lying in ambush for him, who have bound
themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they
have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for your
consent."
So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him,
"Tell no one that you have informed me of these things."
