And the high priest and the prominent men of the Jews made known to him the case against Paul; and they were appealing to him,

asking for favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem--while planning an ambush to kill him along the way.

When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove,

Now they were listening to him until this statement, and they lifted their voice saying, "Take away such a [man] from the earth, for it is not fitting [for] him to live!"

But they cried out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!"

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And their voices and [those] of the chief priests prevailed.
