ACTS 21:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?”
'Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?'— the commander mistakes Paul for an Egyptian false prophet documented by Josephus, who led a messianic rebellion. The confusion reveals how volatile Jerusalem had become in Paul's era.
