Acts 23:16,17,17,22,23,24

Acts 23:16,17,19,22,23,24 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he 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. Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. The forty Jews who bound themselves to kill the old apostle, Paul did not know that God would protect him. Their evil plot was overheard by Paul’s nephew, who told Paul, who told the centurion, who told the chief captain. The Chief Captain whisked Paul away to Felix in Caesarea up in Galilee. Then the Jews had to go up there to accuse Paul, where he was more protected. I wonder what happened to those forty assassins who swore that they would neither eat nor drink until Paul was dead? Paul lived another few years. I wonder if they kept their evil vow? Probably not. But God was watching over his chosen preacher. And Paul went to preach in Rome just like God had told him he would – and Caesar paid for the trip! Never forget: God takes care of His own!
