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. 22 then the tribune dismiss'd the youth with this charge, don't tell any one, that you have given me this information.
