Acts 21:38

Contemporary English Version 1995

“Aren't you that Egyptian who started a riot not long ago and led 4,000 terrorists into the desert?”

See the chapter Copy

If you are told the Messiah is out in the desert, don't go there! And if you are told he is in some secret place, don't believe it!

When someone curses us, we answer with kind words. Until now we are thought of as nothing more than the trash and garbage of this world.

God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.

And at that time there was a prisoner named Barabbas. He and some others had been arrested for murder during a riot.

Now Barabbas was in jail because he had started a riot in the city and had murdered someone.
