← Acts 23:13	Acts 23:14 (KJV)	Acts 23:15 →
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.	And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.	Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
