Listen to Hechos 23:21
21 Pero no les prestes atención, porque más de cuarenta hombres de ellos, que se han comprometido bajo juramento a no comer ni beber hasta que lo hayan matado, esperan emboscados; ya están listos esperando promesa de parte tuya

Hechos 23:21 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 23:21

But do not thou yield unto them
Or be persuaded by them, to bring Paul down from the castle to the sanhedrim; this must not be imputed to the young man's pride and vanity, in taking upon him to give advice to the chief captain; but to his great affection for his uncle, which moved him to entreat, rather than to direct him, for which he gives a good reason:

for there lie in wait for him more than forty men, which have bound
themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till
they have killed him; (See Gill on Acts 23:12). (See Gill on Acts 23:13).

and now are they ready;
to execute their designs, being met together, and lying in ambush in some place, between the castle and the place where the sanhedrim met:

looking for a promise from thee;
that when the sanhedrim should apply to him, he would promise them to bring Paul down according to their request; and for the making and performing of this promise, these men were waiting.

19 Y el comandante, tomándolo de la mano, y llevándolo aparte, le preguntó: ¿Qué es lo que me tienes que informar
20 Y él respondió: Los judíos se han puesto de acuerdo en pedirte que mañana lleves a Pablo al concilio con el pretexto de hacer una indagación más a fondo sobre él.
21 Pero no les prestes atención, porque más de cuarenta hombres de ellos, que se han comprometido bajo juramento a no comer ni beber hasta que lo hayan matado, esperan emboscados; ya están listos esperando promesa de parte tuya

23 Y llamando a dos de los centuriones, dijo: Preparad doscientos soldados para la hora tercera de la noche , con setenta jinetes y doscientos lanceros, para que vayan a Cesarea.
