Acts 21:36

For the multitude of the people followed after
The captain and the soldiers, who had taken away Paul from them, and were carrying him to the castle:

34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing, some another. But the commander couldn't get the facts because of all the noise. So he ordered that Paul be taken into the fort.

35 Paul reached the steps. But then the mob became so wild that he had to be carried by the soldiers.

36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, "Kill him!"

37 The soldiers were about to take Paul into the fort. Then he asked the commander, "May I say something to you?" "Do you speak Greek?" he replied.

38 "Aren't you the Egyptian who turned some of our people against their leaders? Didn't you lead 4,000 terrorists out into the desert some time ago?"
