21:37 As Paul was about to be brought into the castle - The wisdom of God taught to make use of that very time and place.

21:38 Art not thou that Egyptian - Who came into Judea when Felix had been some years governor there! Calling himself a prophet, he drew much people after him; and having brought them through the wilderness, led them to Mount Olivet, promising that the walls of the city should fall down before them. But Felix marching out of Jerusalem against him, his followers quickly dispersed, many of whom were taken or slain; but he himself made his escape.

21:40 In the Hebrew tongue - That dialect of it, which was then commonly spoken at Jerusalem.
