Contextual Overview

27 When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge-on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands, 28 crying out - Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place. 29 For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple. 30 And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast. 31 When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion: - 32 who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul. 33 Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, - and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done; 34 but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle. 35 And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude; 36 for the throng of the people was following, crying out - 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.
