Acts 23:16-22

When Paul's sister's son heard, &c. How privately soever this business was contrived, the providence of God so ordered it, that, for the deliverance of his faithful servant from this inhuman and bloody conspiracy, it came to the ears of Paul's nephew; who went and entered into the castle Where, as has been before observed, Paul now lay confined; and told him the whole matter. Then Paul called one of the centurions Who commanded part of the cohort under the tribune; and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain Thus we see that Paul, though he had an express promise of it from Christ, did not neglect any proper means of safety. The chief captain took him by the hand In a mild, condescending way; and went aside privately Where none could overhear them speaking; and asked what he had to tell him Lysias seems to have conducted this whole affair with great integrity, humanity, and prudence. So the chief captain Having received the information which the young man had to give; let him depart, charging him to tell no man what things they were that he had communicated.
