10 | And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks. |
12 | When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. |
13 | There were more than forty who made this conspiracy. |
14 | And they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul. |
15 | You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near." |
