ACTS 23:11‑35
That night the Lord appeared to Paul and said,
“Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have been
a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must
preach the Good News in Rome as well.”
12 The next morning a group of J
ews* got
together and bound themselves with an oath
not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
13 There were more than forty of them in the
conspiracy. 14 They went to the leading priests
and elders and told them, “We have bound
ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we
have killed Paul. 15 So you and the high council
should ask the commander to bring Paul back
to the council again. Pretend you want to ex
amine his case more fully. We will kill him on
the way.”
16 But Paul’s
nephew—his sister’s son—
heard of their plan and went to the fortress
and told Paul. 17 Paul called for one of the Ro
man officers* and said, “Take this young man
to the commander. He has something impor

18 So the officer did, explaining, “Paul, the
prisoner, called me over and asked me to bring
this young man to you because he has some
thing to tell you.”
19 The commander took his hand, led him

me?”

going to ask you to bring Paul before the high
council tomorrow, pretending they want to
get some more information. 21 But don’t do it!
There are more than forty men hiding along
the way ready to ambush him. They have
vowed not to eat or drink anything until they
have killed him. They are ready now, just wait
ing for your consent.”
22 “Don’t let anyone know you told me this,”
the commander warned the young man.
23 Then the commander called two of his of
ficers and ordered, “Get 200 soldiers ready to
leave for Caesarea at nine o’clock tonight. Also
take 200 spearmen and 70 mounted troops.
24 Provide horses for Paul to ride, and get him
safely to Governor Felix.” 25 Then he wrote this
letter to the governor:
26 “From Claudius Lysias, to his Excellency,
Governor Felix: Greetings!
27 “This man was seized by some Jews, and
they were about to kill him when I arrived
with the troops. When I learned that he was
