Thematic Bible: This plan is thwarted by his nephew

But Paul's nephew learned of their plot and went to the headquarters and told Paul [all about it]. So, Paul called for one of the officers and said [to him], "Take this young man to the commander; he has something [important] to tell him." So, the officer took Paul's nephew to the commander and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called for me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you." read more.
The commander took him by the hand, and walking along together, asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?" And the lad said, "The Jews have plotted to ask you to take Paul down to the Council [meeting] tomorrow, as though you were going to question him further. But, do not listen to them, because over forty men have laid a plot and bound themselves under an oath [with serious consequences] neither to eat nor drink [anything] until they have killed him. They are now ready [to carry out the plot] and are just waiting for you to agree [to their arrangement]." So, the commander let the young man go, urging him, "Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me."
