Acts 21:37-39 ▼

37 Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, “May I say something to you?” He replied, “Do you speak Greek?

38 So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?”

39 Paul answered, “I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people.”
