Paul's Nephew

Paul's Nephew is the son of Paul's sister who heard of a plot, entered the barracks, and reported it to Paul (Acts 23:16). He is also called the young man. Paul instructed a centurion to take him to the military officer because he had something to announce (Acts 23:17). The centurion brought him as Paul requested (Acts 23:18), and the military officer later dismissed him with an order not to tell anyone that he had disclosed the matter (Acts 23:22).

This Acts informant is named in at least four verses, all in Acts.
