"Then they raised their voices and shouted,
"Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to live! As they were
shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the
air...
Control!
the commander
ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be
flogged and questioned in order to find out why the people were shouting
at him like this."
(Acts 22:24)
