Acts 21:38-40
Evangelical Heritage Version
38 Are you not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led four thousand men of the Assassins[a] into the wilderness?”
39 Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 When the commander had given him permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people. When they were all silent, Paul addressed them in the Hebrew dialect.[b]
