Acts 23:14 BBE

¹²  And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.

¹³  And more than forty of them took this oath.

¹⁴  And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death

¹⁵  So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

¹⁶  But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.
