Acts 23:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty men of their number^[a] are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for you to agree.”^{[b] 22} So the military tribune sent the young man away, directing him,^[c] “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

²³ And he summoned two of the centurions and^[d] said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen,^[e] in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea.
