Acts of the Apostles 23:22

In context

20He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as though they intended to look into his case more closely. 21Do not let them persuade you. More than forty of them are lying in wait for him; they have bound themselves under an oath neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. They are ready now, waiting only for your consent.” 22The commander sent the young man away with the order, “Tell no one that you have reported this to me.” 23Then he summoned two of the centurions and said, “Have two hundred soldiers ready to march to Caesarea at the third hour of the night, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen. 24Provide mounts as well, to set Paul on and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”
