16 And the son of Paul's sister, having heard of ambuscade, coming and entering into the castle, reported it to Paul. 17 And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Lead this young man to the chiliarch: for he has something to tell him. 18 Then indeed taking him, he led him to the chiliarch, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, requested me to lead this young man to you, having something to tell you. 19 And the chiliarch taking him by the hand, and having gone away privately, asked him, What is that which you have to tell me? 20 And he said, The Jews have entered into an agreement to ask you that to-morrow you may lead Paul to the sanhedrim, as about to make inquiry as to something more definite concerning him. 21 Therefore do not be persuaded by them: for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, who have obligated themselves by an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they may kill him: and now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you. 22 Then indeed the chiliarch sent away the young man, having commanded him to Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.
