Contextual Overview

12 And when it was morning, certain of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under oath, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 And those who had sworn to this conspiracy were more than forty persons. 14 And they went to the priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under an oath, not to taste anything till we have killed Paul. 15 Now you and the leaders of the council ask the captain to bring him to you, as though you were desirous to have a thorough investigation of his acts, and we are ready to kill him before he shall arrive here. 16 When Paul''s nephew heard this plot, he went into the castle and told Paul. 17 Then Paul sent for and called one of the centurions, and said, Take this young man to the captain, for he has something to tell him. 18 So the centurion took the young man, and brought him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, called me and begged me to bring this young man to you, for he has something to tell you. 19 Then the captain took the young man by his hand, and drew him aside, and asked him, What have you to tell me? 20 And the young man said to him, The Jews have decided to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to their council, as though they were desirous to learn something more from him. 21 You must not listen to them: for behold more than forty of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor to drink till they have killed him, are lying in wait for him: and behold they are ready and awaiting your reply.
