10 Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
The Plot Against Paul
11 But athe following night the Lord stood by him and said,1 “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in bJerusalem, so you must also bear witness at cRome.”
12 And when it was day, asome of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had bkilled Paul.
13 Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.
14 They came to the chief priests and aelders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.
15 Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you1 tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
16 So when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him.”
