" And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had kill Paul. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, we have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. 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.
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. 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? And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him:and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. 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." Acts 23: 12-22, "there is a verse that is so true, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper:" Isaiah 54: 17, it is sad so many people do not believe that.
Almighty God has all power and he can stop any weapon or person from doing you any harm. He see everything the good and the bad He just need you to trust his Holy word, and come to repentance. And no that he is almighty God and no man on this earth can do you harm when you are in his will, Paul understood that all way to his death. Amen
