Contextual Overview

²⁷The required seven days had nearly passed without incident until one day some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the main church. They riled a bunch of folks up, and they went and ambushed Paul. As they grabbed him, ²⁸they yelled, "All men of Israel, help us! This is the cowboy who is telling the whole world to shun our ways and our code. He encourages people to turn from our ways and our customs. He even brings shame on the main church just by being here today! He has brought in mavericks to this holy place." ²⁹They said this because one time in Ephesus they saw him with a Gentile and had just assumed he had brought him to the main church. ³⁰All of Jerusalem looked like an anthill that had been stomped by a herd of Corriente cattle. Paul was walloped and drug out of the church. ³¹They were just about to kill him when the commander of the Roman army in Jerusalem heard about a riot happening. ³²He immediately sent soldiers to find out what was going on. When the rioters saw the soldiers coming, they all stood very still. ³³The commander then arrested Paul and had him double chained. The commander asked the crowd who Paul was and why they were beating him. ³⁴A hundred different answers were shouted out, and it was clear most of the people had no idea who Paul was or why he was being beaten. So the commander ordered that Paul be taken to the garrison to be questioned. ³⁵As they were leaving, the mob rose up again and the soldiers had to lift Paul onto their shoulders to keep him from being killed. ³⁶The crowd followed in a bloodlust shouting, "String him up! String him up!"

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.
