Acts 23:20-22

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁰ ‘The Jews,’ he said, ‘have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as though they are going to hold a somewhat more careful enquiry about him. ²¹ Don’t let them persuade you, because there are more than forty of them lying in ambush – men who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, waiting for your consent.’^(A)

²² So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, ‘Don’t tell anyone that you have informed me about this.’
