Acts 23:16 DBY

¹⁴  and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.

¹⁵  Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

¹⁶  But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.

¹⁷  And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.

¹⁸  He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.
