Acts 23:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ They went to the high priests and elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to taste any food before we have killed Paul. ¹⁵ Now then, you and the Council^[a] must notify the tribune to bring him down to you on the pretext that you want to look into his case more carefully, but before he arrives we’ll be ready to kill him.”

¹⁶ But the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, so he came and got into the barracks and told Paul.
