11
 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said,
Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12
 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13
 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14
 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15
 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you tomorrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16
 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17
 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto
him,
and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18
 So he took him, and brought
him
to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto
him,
and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19
 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went
with him
aside privately, and asked
him,
What is that thou hast to tell me?
20
 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21
 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22
 So the chief captain
then
let the young man depart, and charged
him, See thou
tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23
 And he called unto
him
two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24
 and provide
them
beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring
him
safe unto Felix the governor.
25
 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26
 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix
sendeth
greeting.
27
 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28
 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29
 whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30
 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what
they had
against him. Farewell.
31
 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought
him
by night to Antipatris.
32
 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33
 who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34
 And when the governor had read
the letter,
he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that
he was
of Cilicia;
35
 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

 L
ORD
, how are they increased that trouble me! many
are
they that rise up against me.
2
 Many
there be
which say of my soul,
There is
no help for him in God. Selah.
3
 But thou, O L
ORD
,
art
a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4
 I cried unto the L
ORD
with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5
 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the L
ORD
sustained me.
6
 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves
against me round about.
7
 Arise, O L
ORD
; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies
upon
the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8
 Salvation
belongeth
unto the L
ORD
: thy blessing
is
upon thy people. Selah.

 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
