Acts of the Apostles 23:16

In context

14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. 15So now you, with the Sanhedrin, must petition the commander to bring him down to you, as though you meant to look into his case more thoroughly. We are ready to do away with him before he ever gets here.” 16But the son of Paul’s sister heard of the ambush; he made his way into the barracks and told Paul. 17Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to report to him.” 18So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you; he has something to tell you.”
