Acts 22:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² ·The crowd [^LThey] listened to ·Paul [him] until he said ·this [^Lthis word]. Then they ·began shouting [^Lraised their voice saying], “·Get rid of him [Kill him; ^LRemove this one from the earth]! He doesn’t deserve to live!” ²³ They ·shouted [yelled; screamed], threw off their coats, and threw dust into the air [^Cdemonstrations of anger and disgust].

²⁴ Then the ·commander [tribune] ordered the soldiers to take ·Paul [^Lhim] into the ·army building [barracks] and ·beat him [^Lquestion him by whipping/flogging]. ·He wanted [^L…in order] to make Paul tell why the people were shouting against him like this [^Cflogging was commonly used to gain information].
