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.
