414 TEE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES nify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to-morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him/^ Instead of rebuking this cruel scheme, the priests and rulers eagerly agreed to it. Paul had spoken the truth when he compared Ananias to a whited sepulcher. But God interposed to save the life of His servant. Paul's sister's son, hearing of the lying in wait" of the assassins, ''went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 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. 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." Claudius Lysias received the youth kindly, and taking him aside, asked, ''What is that thou hast to tell me!" The youth replied: "The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldst bring down Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. 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." **The chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him. See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me."
