EasyEnglish Bible

³⁶ The crowd followed behind Paul and the soldiers. They were shouting, ‘Kill him!’

³⁷ While the soldiers were leading Paul into their building, he asked their leader, ‘Please may I say something to you?’

The soldiers' leader replied, ‘Oh! Do you speak the Greek language? ³⁸ I thought that you must be that bad man who came from Egypt. He was the one who fought against our Roman government. Some time ago, he led 4,000 of his own men out into the wilderness, with their weapons.’
