but the tumult growing worse, the tribune apprehensive that Paul might be torn to pieces among them, order'd detachment to secure him by force of arms, and bring him to the castle.

if you will move it then to the tribune in the name of the Sanhedrim, to send him here to-morrow, under colour of examining his affair with more solemnity, we shall take care to dispatch him, and make a short end of his journey."

who having sent for one of the centurions, said, introduce this young man to the tribune, for he has something to communicate to him.

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.

then the tribune taking him by the hand, retir'd with him in private, and ask'd, what he had to say.

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