Rückkehr von der dritten Missionsreise – Weissagungen über Paulus
1Als wir aber abfuhren, nachdem wir uns von ihnen losgerissen hatten, kamen wir geraden Laufs nach Kos, am folgenden Tag aber nach Rhodos und von da nach Patara.2Und wir fanden ein Schiff, das nach Phönizien übersetzte, stiegen ein und fuhren ab.3Als wir aber Zypern gesichtet und es links hatten liegen lassen, segelten wir nach Syrien und legten zu Tyrus an, denn dort hatte das Schiff die Ladung abzuliefern.4Nachdem wir die Jünger gefunden hatten, blieben wir sieben Tage dort. Diese sagten dem Paulus durch den Geist, er möge nicht nach Jerusalem hinaufgehen. (Apg 20,6; Apg 21,12)5Als wir aber die Tage vollendet hatten, zogen wir fort und reisten weiter; und sie alle geleiteten uns mit Frauen und Kindern bis außerhalb der Stadt, und wir knieten am Ufer nieder und beteten. (Apg 20,36)6Und nachdem wir voneinander Abschied genommen hatten, stiegen wir in das Schiff, jene aber kehrten heim.7Als wir nun die Fahrt beendet hatten, gelangten wir von Tyrus nach Ptolemaïs; und wir begrüßten die Brüder und blieben einen Tag bei ihnen.8Am folgenden Tag aber zogen wir aus und kamen nach Cäsarea; und wir gingen in das Haus des Philippus, des Evangelisten, der ⟨einer⟩ von den Sieben war, und blieben bei ihm. (Apg 6,5; Apg 8,40)9Dieser aber hatte vier Töchter, Jungfrauen, die weissagten.10Als wir nun mehrere Tage blieben, kam ein Prophet mit Namen Agabus von Judäa herab. (Apg 11,28)11Und er kam zu uns und nahm den Gürtel des Paulus und band sich die Füße und die Hände und sprach: Dies sagt der Heilige Geist: Den Mann, dem dieser Gürtel gehört, werden die Juden in Jerusalem so binden und in die Hände der Nationen überliefern. (Joh 16,13; Apg 9,16; Apg 21,33)12Als wir aber dies hörten, baten sowohl wir als auch die Einheimischen ihn, nicht nach Jerusalem hinaufzugehen.13Paulus aber antwortete: Was macht ihr, dass ihr weint und mir das Herz brecht? Denn ich bin bereit, nicht allein gebunden zu werden, sondern auch in Jerusalem für den Namen des Herrn Jesus zu sterben. (Apg 20,24)14Als er sich aber nicht überreden ließ, gaben wir Ruhe und sprachen: Der Wille des Herrn geschehe! (Mt 6,10)15Nach diesen Tagen aber machten wir uns bereit und gingen hinauf nach Jerusalem. (Apg 18,22)16Es gingen auch ⟨einige⟩ der Jünger aus Cäsarea mit uns und brachten uns zu einem gewissen Mnason, einem Zyprer, einem alten Jünger, bei dem wir herbergen sollten.17Als wir aber in Jerusalem angekommen waren, nahmen uns die Brüder freudig auf. (Apg 15,4)
Paulus in Jerusalem
18Am folgenden Tag aber ging Paulus mit uns zu Jakobus, und alle Ältesten kamen dahin. (Apg 12,17)19Und als er sie begrüßt hatte, erzählte er eines nach dem anderen, was Gott unter den Nationen durch seinen Dienst getan hatte. (Apg 14,27)20Sie aber, als sie es gehört hatten, verherrlichten Gott und sprachen zu ihm: Du siehst, Bruder, wie viele Tausende[1] der Juden es gibt, die gläubig geworden sind, und alle sind Eiferer für das Gesetz. (Apg 22,3; Gal 1,24)21Es ist ihnen aber über dich berichtet worden, dass du alle Juden, die unter den Nationen sind, Abfall von Mose lehrst und sagst, sie sollen weder die Kinder beschneiden noch nach den Gebräuchen wandeln. (Apg 6,14)22Was nun? Jedenfalls werden sie hören, dass du gekommen bist.23Tu nun dies, was wir dir sagen: Wir haben vier Männer, die ein Gelübde[2] auf sich ⟨genommen⟩ haben. (4Mo 6,2)24Diese nimm zu dir und reinige dich mit ihnen und trage die Kosten für sie, damit sie das Haupt scheren lassen! Und alle werden erkennen, dass nichts an dem ist, was ihnen über dich berichtet worden ist, sondern dass du selbst auch zum Gesetz stehst und es befolgst[3]. (4Mo 6,13; Apg 18,18; 1Kor 9,20)25Was aber die Gläubigen ⟨aus den⟩ Nationen betrifft, so haben wir geschrieben und verfügt, dass sie sich sowohl vor dem Götzenopfer als auch vor Blut und Ersticktem und Unzucht[4] hüten sollen. (Apg 15,20)26Dann nahm Paulus die Männer zu sich, und nachdem er sich am folgenden Tag gereinigt hatte, ging er mit ihnen in den Tempel und kündigte die Erfüllung der Tage der Reinigung an, bis für einen jeden von ihnen das Opfer dargebracht war. (4Mo 6,21; Apg 24,18)
Tumult der Juden und Gefangennahme des Paulus
27Als aber die sieben Tage beinahe vollendet waren, sahen ihn die Juden aus Asien[5] im Tempel und brachten die ganze Volksmenge in Aufregung und legten die Hände an ihn (Apg 24,18; Apg 26,21)28und schrien: Männer von Israel[6], helft! Dies ist der Mensch, der alle überall lehrt gegen das Volk und das Gesetz und diese Stätte; und dazu hat er auch Griechen in den Tempel geführt und diese heilige Stätte verunreinigt. (Hes 44,7; Apg 6,13; Apg 24,5)29Denn sie hatten vorher den Trophimus, den Epheser, mit ihm in der Stadt gesehen, von dem sie meinten, dass Paulus ihn in den Tempel geführt habe. (Apg 20,4)30Und die ganze Stadt kam in Bewegung, und es entstand ein Zusammenlauf des Volkes; und sie ergriffen Paulus und schleppten ihn aus dem Tempel, und sogleich wurden die Türen geschlossen.31Während sie ihn aber zu töten suchten, kam an den Obersten[7] der Schar[8] die Anzeige, dass ganz Jerusalem in Aufregung sei; (Apg 26,21)32der nahm sofort Soldaten und Hauptleute mit und lief zu ihnen hinab. Als sie aber den Obersten und die Soldaten sahen, hörten sie auf, den Paulus zu schlagen.33Dann näherte sich der Oberste, ergriff ihn und befahl, ihn mit zwei Ketten zu fesseln, und erkundigte sich, wer er denn sei und was er getan habe. (Apg 21,11)34Die einen aber riefen dies, die anderen jenes in der Volksmenge. Da er aber wegen des Tumultes nichts Gewisses erfahren konnte, befahl er, ihn in das Lager[9] zu führen. (Apg 22,24; Apg 23,27)35Als er aber an die Stufen[10] kam, geschah es, dass er wegen der Gewalt der Volksmenge von den Soldaten getragen wurde;36denn die Menge des Volkes folgte und schrie: Weg mit ihm! (Lk 23,18; Apg 22,22; Apg 25,24)37Und als Paulus eben in das Lager hineingebracht werden sollte, spricht er zu dem Obersten: Ist es mir erlaubt, dir etwas zu sagen? Er aber sprach: Verstehst du Griechisch?38Du bist also nicht der Ägypter, der vor diesen Tagen eine Empörung gemacht und die viertausend Mann Sikarier[11] in die Wüste hinausgeführt hat?39Paulus aber sprach: Ich bin ein jüdischer Mann aus Tarsus, Bürger einer nicht unberühmten Stadt in Zilizien. Ich bitte dich aber, erlaube mir, zu dem Volk zu reden! (Apg 9,11)40Als er es aber erlaubt hatte, winkte Paulus, auf den Stufen stehend, dem Volk mit der Hand; nachdem aber eine große Stille eingetreten war, redete er sie in hebräischer Mundart an und sprach: (Apg 13,16)
1And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.[1] (Apg 16,10; Apg 16,11)2And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo.4And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. (Apg 20,23; Apg 21,11)5When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed (Apg 20,36; Apg 20,38)6and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted the brothers[2] and stayed with them for one day. (Joh 21,23)8On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. (Apg 6,5; Apg 8,5; Eph 4,11; 2Tim 4,5)9He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied. (Lk 2,36; Apg 2,17; Apg 2,18; 1Kor 11,5; 1Kor 13,1)10While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. (Apg 11,28)11And coming to us, he took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews[3] at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’” (1Sam 15,27; 1Sam 15,28; 1Kön 11,30; Jes 20,3; Jer 13,1; Jer 27,2; Mt 20,19; Apg 9,16; Apg 20,23)12When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. (Mt 16,21)13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Apg 5,41; Apg 12,1; Apg 15,26; Apg 20,24; Röm 8,36; 2Kor 4,16; 2Kor 12,10; Phil 2,17)14And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.” (Rut 1,18; Mt 6,10)15After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.16And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Paul Visits James
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. (Apg 15,4; Apg 21,7)18On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. (Apg 11,30; Apg 12,17)19After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. (Apg 1,17; Apg 14,27; Röm 15,18; Röm 15,19)20And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law, (Apg 11,18; Apg 22,3; Röm 10,2; Gal 1,14)21and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs. (Mk 7,5; Apg 6,14; Apg 15,1; Apg 21,28; Röm 2,28; Röm 2,29; 1Kor 7,19; Gal 2,14; Jak 1,1)22What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.23Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow; (Apg 18,18)24take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law. (Joh 11,55; Apg 21,26; Apg 23,1; Apg 24,18)25But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled,[4] and from sexual immorality.” (Apg 15,19; Apg 15,20; Apg 15,29)26Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them. (4Mo 6,9; 4Mo 6,13; Apg 24,1)
Paul Arrested in the Temple
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, (Apg 13,50; Apg 24,18; Apg 26,1; Apg 26,21)28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” (Apg 6,13; Apg 21,21; Apg 24,6)29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. (Apg 20,4)30Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. (2Kön 11,15; Apg 26,21)31And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. (Apg 10,1; Apg 21,30)32He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. (Apg 23,27)33Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done. (Apg 12,6; Apg 20,23; Apg 21,11; Apg 22,29; Apg 26,29; Apg 28,20; Eph 6,20; 2Tim 1,16)34Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, some another. And as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks. (Apg 19,32; Apg 22,24; Apg 23,10)35And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,36for the mob of the people followed, crying out, “Away with him!” (Lk 23,18; Joh 19,15; Apg 22,22)
Paul Speaks to the People
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?38Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?” (Mt 24,26; Apg 5,36)39Paul replied, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. I beg you, permit me to speak to the people.” (Apg 9,11; Apg 22,3)40And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the Hebrew language,[5] saying: (Apg 12,17; Apg 22,2; Apg 26,14)
Apostelgeschichte 21
King James Version
1And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.3Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.5And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.7And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.8And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.9And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.10And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.11And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.12And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.13Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.15And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.16There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.20And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Paolo giunge a Tiro
1Dopo esserci separati da loro, salpammo e giungemmo direttamente a Cos, il giorno seguente a Rodi e di là a Patara.2E, trovata una nave diretta in Fenicia, salimmo a bordo e salpammo.3Giunti in vista di Cipro, e lasciatala a sinistra, navigammo verso la Siria e approdammo a Tiro, perché qui si doveva scaricare la nave.4Trovati i discepoli, soggiornammo là sette giorni. Essi, mossi dallo Spirito, dicevano a Paolo di non mettere piede a Gerusalemme;5quando però fummo al termine di quei giorni, partimmo per continuare il viaggio, accompagnati da tutti loro, con le mogli e i figli, sin fuori dalla città; dopo esserci inginocchiati sulla spiaggia, pregammo e ci dicemmo addio;6poi salimmo sulla nave, e quelli se ne tornarono alle loro case.
Paolo a Tolemaide e a Cesarea
7Terminata la navigazione, da Tiro arrivammo a Tolemaide; e, salutati i fratelli, restammo un giorno con loro.8Ripartiti il giorno dopo, giungemmo a Cesarea; ed entrati in casa di Filippo l’evangelista, che era uno dei sette[1], restammo da lui.9Egli aveva quattro figlie non sposate, le quali profetizzavano.10Eravamo là da molti giorni, quando scese dalla Giudea un profeta, di nome Agabo.11Egli venne da noi e, presa la cintura di Paolo, si legò i piedi e le mani e disse: «Questo dice lo Spirito Santo: “A Gerusalemme i Giudei legheranno così l’uomo a cui questa cintura appartiene, e lo consegneranno nelle mani dei pagani”».12Quando udimmo queste cose, tanto noi che quelli del luogo lo pregavamo di non salire a Gerusalemme.13Paolo allora rispose: «Che fate voi, piangendo e spezzandomi il cuore? Sappiate che io sono pronto non solo a essere legato, ma anche a morire a Gerusalemme per il nome del Signore Gesù».14E, poiché non si lasciava persuadere, ci rassegnammo dicendo: «Sia fatta la volontà del Signore».15Dopo quei giorni, fatti i nostri preparativi, salimmo a Gerusalemme.16Vennero con noi anche alcuni discepoli di Cesarea, che ci condussero in casa di un certo Mnasone di Cipro, discepolo di vecchia data, presso il quale dovevamo alloggiare.
A Gerusalemme Paolo si reca da Giacomo
17Arrivati a Gerusalemme, i fratelli ci accolsero festosamente.18Il giorno seguente Paolo si recò con noi da Giacomo; e vi si trovarono tutti gli anziani.19Dopo averli salutati, Paolo si mise a raccontare dettagliatamente quello che Dio aveva fatto tra i pagani, per mezzo del suo servizio.20Ed essi, dopo averlo ascoltato, glorificavano Dio. Poi gli dissero: «Fratello, tu vedi quante migliaia di Giudei hanno creduto; e tutti sono zelanti per la legge.21Ora sono stati informati su di te che vai insegnando a tutti i Giudei sparsi tra i pagani ad abbandonare Mosè, e dicendo di non circoncidere più i loro figli e di non conformarsi più ai riti.22E allora? Sicuramente verranno a sapere che tu sei venuto.23Fa’ dunque quello che ti diciamo: noi abbiamo quattro uomini che hanno fatto un voto;24prendili con te, purìficati con loro e paga le spese per loro affinché possano radersi il capo; così tutti conosceranno che non c’è niente di vero nelle informazioni che hanno ricevute sul tuo conto, ma che tu pure osservi la legge.25Quanto ai pagani che hanno creduto, noi abbiamo scritto decretando che si astengano dalle cose sacrificate agli idoli, dal sangue, dagli animali soffocati e dalla fornicazione».26Allora Paolo, il giorno seguente, prese con sé quegli uomini e, dopo essersi purificato con loro, entrò nel tempio annunciando di voler compiere i giorni della purificazione, fino alla presentazione dell’offerta per ciascuno di loro.
Paolo è arrestato nel tempio
27Quando i sette giorni stavano per compiersi, i Giudei dell’Asia, vedendolo nel tempio, aizzarono tutta la folla e gli misero le mani addosso, gridando:28«Israeliti, venite in aiuto: questo è l’uomo che va predicando a tutti e dappertutto contro il popolo, contro la legge e contro questo luogo; e, oltre a ciò, ha condotto anche dei Greci nel tempio e ha profanato questo santo luogo».29Infatti, prima avevano veduto Trofimo di Efeso in città con Paolo, e pensavano che egli lo avesse condotto nel tempio.30Tutta la città fu in agitazione e si fece un assembramento di gente; afferrato Paolo, lo trascinarono fuori dal tempio, e subito le porte furono chiuse.31Mentre cercavano di ucciderlo, fu riferito al tribuno della coorte che tutta Gerusalemme era in subbuglio.32Ed egli, presi immediatamente dei soldati e dei centurioni, si precipitò verso i Giudei, i quali, vedendo il tribuno e i soldati, cessarono di battere Paolo.33Allora il tribuno si avvicinò, prese Paolo e ordinò che fosse legato con due catene; poi domandò chi fosse e che cosa avesse fatto.34E nella folla gli uni gridavano una cosa e gli altri un’altra; per cui, non potendo sapere nulla di certo a causa della confusione, ordinò che fosse condotto nella fortezza[2].35Quando Paolo arrivò alla gradinata dovette, per la violenza della folla, essere portato di peso dai soldati,36perché una marea di gente incalzava, gridando: «A morte!»37Quando Paolo stava per essere introdotto nella fortezza, disse al tribuno: «Mi è permesso dirti qualcosa?» Quegli rispose: «Sai il greco?38Non sei dunque quell’egiziano che tempo fa sobillò e condusse nel deserto quei quattromila briganti?»39Ma Paolo disse: «Io sono un Giudeo di Tarso, cittadino di quella non oscura città di Cilicia; e ti prego che tu mi permetta di parlare al popolo».40Il tribuno glielo permise e Paolo, stando in piedi sulla gradinata, fece cenno con la mano al popolo e, fattosi un gran silenzio, parlò loro in ebraico, dicendo:
