23:11 And in the following night coming on to him the
Lord said: Be of good courage: for as thou didst solemnly witness things
concerning me in Jerusalem, so thee it
behoves also in Rome
to witness. 12 And becoming day making a conspiracy the Jews cursed
themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they should kill Paul.
13 And there were more than forty the ones this plot making; 14 who
approaching to the chief priests and to the elders said: With a curse we
cursed ourselves of nothing to taste until we may kill Paul. 15 Now
therefore ye inform the chillarch with the council so as he may bring down
him to you as intending to ascertain exactly more accurately the things
concerning him; and we before he draws near ready are to kill him. 16 And
hearing the son of the sister of Paul the treachery, coming and

of them men more than forty, who cursed themselves neither to eat nor to
drink until they kill him, and now they are ready awaiting the from thee
promise. 22 the Therefore chillarch dismissed the young man, charging
him to no one to divulge that these things thou reportedst to me. 23
And calling to him a certain two of the centurions he said: Prepare ye
soldiers two hundred so as they may go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen
seventy and spearmen two hundred, from third hour of the night, 24 and
beasts to stand by, that putting on Paul they may bring him safely to Felix
the governor,
