Event

Given leave by the commanding officer, Paul beckons to the people from the stairs

바울이 천부장의 허락을 받아 층대 위에서 백성에게 손짓함

Acts 21:37–40: as Paul is about to be brought into the barracks, he asks the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” The commanding officer says, “Do you know Greek? Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?” But Paul says, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.” When the commanding officer has given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckons with his hand to the people. When there is a great silence, he speaks to them in the Hebrew language.
