Veprat e Apostujve 23:21

Prandaj ti mos ua vër veshin, sepse më shumë se dyzet burra nga ata kanë ngritur kurth kundër tij, sepse janë zotuar duke u lidhur me betim, të mos hanë e të mos pinë, derisa ta kenë vrarë; dhe tani janë gati dhe presin që ti t'ua lejosh atyre''.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But do not thou yield unto them,.... Or be persuaded by them, to bring Paul down from the castle to the sanhedrim; this must not be imputed to the young man's pride and vanity, in taking upon him to give advice to the chief captain; but to his great affection for his uncle, which moved him to entreat, rather than to direct him, for which he gives a good reason:

for there lie in wait for him 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; to execute their designs, being met together, and lying in ambush in some place, between the castle and the place where the sanhedrim met:

looking for a promise from thee; that when the sanhedrim should apply to him, he would promise them to bring Paul down according to their request; and for the making and performing of this promise, these men were waiting.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Looking for a promise from thee - Waiting for your consent to bring him down to them.
