37As PaulG3972 wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 be broughtG1521 into 24the barracksG3925, he saidG3004 to the commanderG5506, “MayG1832 I sayG3004 somethingG5100 to you?” And he saidG5346, “Do you knowG1097 GreekG1676? 38ThenG686 you are not 25the EgyptianG124 who someG3778 26timeG2250 agoG4253 stirredG387 upG387 aG387 revoltG387 and ledG1806 the fourG5070 thousandG5070 menG435 of the AssassinsG4607 out 27into the wildernessG2048?” 39But PaulG3972 saidG3004, “28I amG1510 a JewG2453 ofG5018 TarsusG5018 in 29CiliciaG2791, a citizenG4177 of noG3756 insignificantG767 cityG4172; and I begG1189 you, allowG2010 me to speakG2980 to the peopleG2992.” 40When he had givenG2010 him permissionG2010, PaulG3972, standingG2476 on 30the stairsG304, 31motionedG2678 to the peopleG2992 with his handG5495; and when there 32was a greatG4183 silenceG4602, he spokeG4377 toG4377 them in the 3334HebrewG1446 dialectG1258, sayingG3004,
