Acts 23:12 in Context — Acts 23

10 E havendo grande confusão, o comandante, temendo que Paulo não fosse despedaçado por eles, mandou descer a tropa, e tirá-lo do meio deles, e levá-lo à área fortificada.

11 E [n] a noite seguinte o Senhor, aparecendo-lhe, disse: Tem bom ânimo, Paulo! Porque assim como deste testemunho de mim em Jerusalém, assim é necessário que tu dês testemunho também em Roma.

12 E tendo vindo o dia, alguns dos judeus fizeram uma conspiração, e prestaram juramento sob pena de maldição, dizendo que não comeriam nem beberiam enquanto não matassem a Paulo.

13 E eram mais de quarenta os que fizeram este juramento.

14 Os quais foram até os chefes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos, [e] disseram: Fizemos juramento sob pena de maldição, de que nada experimentaremos enquanto não matarmos a Paulo.
