Acts 21:35-39

35The soldiers then led Paul as far as the steps of their building. Then they had to carry him because the crowd was so angry.

36The crowd followed behind Paul and the soldiers. They were shouting, ‘Kill him!’

37While the soldiers were leading Paul into their building, he asked their leader, ‘Please may I say something to you?’ The soldiers' leader replied, ‘Oh! Do you speak the Greek language?

38I thought that you must be that bad man who came from Egypt. He was the one who fought against our Roman government. Some time ago, he led 4,000 of his own men out into the wilderness, with their weapons.’

39Paul answered, ‘I am a Jew and I was born in Tarsus in the region called Cilicia. So you see, I am a man from an important city. Please, let me speak to this crowd.’
