Acts 21:38-40

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁸ Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolution not long ago and led four thousand terrorists into the desert?”

³⁹ Paul answered, “I’m a Jew, a citizen from the well-known city of Tarsus in Cilicia. I’m asking you to let me talk to the people.”

⁴⁰ The officer gave Paul permission to speak. So Paul stood on the stairs of the barracks and motioned with his hand for the people to be quiet. When the mob was silent, Paul spoke to them in the Hebrew language.
