Acts23:16

16 And when Paul's sisters son heard of their laying in wait, he went and entred into the castle, and told Paul.

Who is thought to have been one of Paul's Company: But the hatred against Paul by the Iews being so general, because of his (supposed) prophaning of the Temple, they were not so curious who they spake to of this Confederacy and Design. Or rather; there is no Counsel against God: the very Birds of the Air, if need were, shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter, Eccles. 10.20. For he that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision, Psalm 2.4.
