Acts 23:21

---

← Acts 23:20	Acts 23:21 (KJV)	Acts 23:22 →
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.	But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.	So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and charged [him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
