ACTS 23:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.”
'Now therefore, you and the Council inform the commander that he is to bring Paul down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place' — the plan is to trick the commander into transferring Paul for supposed legal examination, creating the opportunity for ambush. Deception is weaponized under the guise of legal process.
