Contextual Overview

12 when it was day, some Jews, that had form'd a conspiracy, engag'd themselves by an oath, not to eat, or drink, till they had kill'd Paul. 13 the conspirators, who were above forty in number, 14 went to the chief priests and senators, and said, "we have bound our selves by oath not to eat till we have slain Paul. 15 if you will move it then to the tribune in the name of the Sanhedrim, to send him here to-morrow, under colour of examining his affair with more solemnity, we shall take care to dispatch him, and make a short end of his journey." 16 Paul's sister's son hearing of the ambuscade, went to the castle, and being admitted, told Paul; 17 who having sent for one of the centurions, said, introduce this young man to the tribune, for he has something to communicate to him. 18 accordingly he went along with him, and having introduc'd him to the tribune, he said, Paul, who is in custody sent for me, and desired me to introduce this young man, who has something to tell you. 19 then the tribune taking him by the hand, retir'd with him in private, and ask'd, what he had to say. 20 the Jews, said he, have agreed to desire you would send Paul down to-morrow to the council, under the pretext of examining him more strictly. 21 but don't believe them: for above forty of them lie in ambush, having bound themselves by oath not to eat or drink till they have kill'd him: they are already prepar'd, and only wait your answer.
