Acts 23:12-15

The next day, more than forty Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under an oath to have no food or water until they had killed Paul. They went to the high priest and the elders to divulge their plans and said to them, “We have united in a solemn oath not to eat or drink until Paul is dead. So we urge you to have the commander bring him to you as though you were to determine his case with a more thorough inquiry. And we will kill him before he even gets here!”
