Acts 23:14 in Context — Acts 23
12 Quand le jour fut venu, les Juifs formèrent un complot, et firent des imprécations contre eux-mêmes, en disant qu’ils s’abstiendraient de manger et de boire jusqu’à ce qu’ils eussent tué Paul.
13 Ceux qui formèrent ce complot étaient plus de quarante,
14 et ils allèrent trouver les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens, auxquels ils dirent: Nous nous sommes engagés, avec des imprécations contre nous-mêmes, à ne rien manger jusqu’à ce que nous ayons tué Paul.
15 Vous donc, maintenant, adressez-vous avec le sanhédrin au tribun, pour qu’il l’amène devant vous, comme si vous vouliez examiner sa cause plus exactement; et nous, avant qu’il approche, nous sommes prêts à le tuer.
16 Le fils de la sœur de Paul, ayant eu connaissance du guet-apens, alla dans la forteresse en informer Paul.
