We want to know more about the wrong things that he has done.” That will be the message. But, we will wait for Paul and we will be ready to kill him. We will do this before he arrives here at the meeting.’

¹⁶ But the son of Paul's sister heard what the Jews had decided to do. He went into the soldiers' building and he told Paul about it.

¹⁷ So Paul asked one of the soldiers' officers to come to him. He said, ‘Please take this young man to your leader. He has something important to tell him.’
