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.

17 Paul appela l’un des centeniers, et dit: Mène ce jeune homme vers le tribun, car il a quelque chose à lui rapporter.

18 Le centenier prit le jeune homme avec lui, le conduisit vers le tribun, et dit: Le prisonnier Paul m’a appelé, et il m’a prié de t’amener ce jeune homme, qui a quelque chose à te dire.
