Contextual Overview

27 And when the seventh day was come the Jihudoyee who were from Asia saw him in the temple, and stirred up against him all the people. And they lifted their hands against him, 28 crying out, and saying, Men, sons of Israel, help ! This is the man who contrary to our people teacheth every where, and contrary to the law, and against this place. And also Aramoyee hath he brought into the temple, and profaned this holy place. 29 For they had before seen with him Trophimus the Ephesian in the city, and supposed that with Paulos he had entered the temple. 30 And the whole city was commoved, and all the people assembled, and they laid hold of Paulos, and dragged him without from the temple; and instantly the gates were shut. 31 And while the multitude sought to kill him, the tribune [fn] of the cohort heard that the whole city was agitated. 32 And forthwith took he a centurion and many soldiers and ran upon them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they desisted from beating Paulos. 33 And the tribune drew near and took him, and commanded them to bind him with two chains. And he asked concerning him who (he was), and what he had done ? 34 And men from the crowd cried against him variously, and because of their crying he was not able to know what was the truth; and he commanded that they should lead him to the fortress. 35 And as Paulos came to the stairs the soldiers carried him, on account of the violence of the people: 36 for after him was much people; and they cried, and said, Away with him !

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Acts 7:54, Acts 22:22, Luke 23:18, John 19:15, 1 Corinthians 4:13

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the multitude of the people followed after,.... The captain and the soldiers, who had taken away Paul from them, and were carrying him to the castle:

crying, away with him; or "take him away", that is, by death; or "lift him up", upon the cross, crucify him, crucify him, as they said concerning Christ.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Away with him! - That is, to death. Compare Luke 23:18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 36. Away with him. — That is, Kill him; despatch him! for so much this phrase always means in the mouth of a Jewish mob. Luke 23:18; Luke 23:18, and John 19:15; John 19:15.
