Acts of the Apostles 21:37

In context

35When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was such that the soldiers had to carry him, 36for the mass of people followed behind, shouting, “Away with him!” 37Just as he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the commander, “May I say something to you?” The man replied, “You know Greek? 38Then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?” 39Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I ask you: let me speak to the people.”
