And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Paul's sister's son heard of the lying in wait planned to kill Paul. He entered the fortress and told Paul of the plot. His report was prompt, and it put Paul in a position to act at once. Paul called a centurion and had the young man brought to the commander.
That warning set in motion the disclosure of the danger. By exposing what had been secretly purposed, it helped save Paul's life from violent death. God's providence protected Paul through this relative's watchful concern. The deliverance came by that means, rather than by help from the elders whose counsel had led Paul into danger.
