Contextual Overview

27 And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him, 28 crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and has defiled this holy place. 29 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple. 30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut. 31 And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the Colonel of the Battalion, All Jerusalem is in confusion. 32 And forthwith he took soldiers and captains, and ran down on them: and they, when they saw the colonel and the soldiers, left off beating Paul. 33 Then the colonel came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done. 34 And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle. 35 And when he came on the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd; 36 for the multitude of the people followed after, 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.
