A Plot to Kill Paul

12 When it was day, ^bthe Jews made a plot and ^cbound 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 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 Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice 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.”

16 Now the son of Paul’s sister heard of their ambush, so he went and entered ^dthe barracks and told Paul. 17 Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the tribune, for he has something to tell him.” 18 So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul ^ethe prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.” 19 The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?” 20 And he said, ^f“The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him. 21 But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him, who ^ghave bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for your consent.” 22 So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, “Tell no one that you have informed me of these things.”

Paul Sent to Felix the Governor

23 Then he called two of the centurions and said, “Get ready two hundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of the night. ^{▼▼That is, 9 p.m.} 24 Also provide mounts for Paul to ride and bring him safely to ⁱFelix ^jthe governor.” 25 And he wrote a letter to this effect:

26 “Claudius Lysias, to ^khis Excellency the governor Felix, ^lgreetings. 27 ^mThis man was seized by the Jews and ⁿwas about to be killed by them ^owhen I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, ^phaving learned that he was a Roman citizen. 28 And ^qdesiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council. 29 I found that he was being accused ^rabout questions of their law, but ^scharged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment. 30 ^tAnd when it was disclosed to me ^uthat there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ^vordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him.”

Acts 24:27

27 When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius ^wFestus. And ^xdesiring to do the Jews a favor, ^yFelix left Paul in prison.

Acts 25:3-5

3 asking as a favor against Paul ^{▼▼Greek him} that he summon him to Jerusalem—because ^aathey were planning an ambush to kill him on the way. 4 Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea and that he himself intended to go there shortly. 5 “So,” said he, “let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring charges against him.”

Acts 25:9

9 But Festus, ^abwishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?”
