<p> <strong> [[Egyptian, | <p> <strong> [[Egyptian, The]] </strong> . An unnamed leader of the ‘Assassins’ or ‘Sicarii’ for whom [[Claudius]] [[Lysias]] took St. Paul ( Acts 21:38 ). This man is also mentioned by [[Josephus]] as a leader defeated by Felix, but not as connected with the ‘Assassins’ ( <em> Ant </em> . XX. viii. 6). The [[Egyptian]] escaped, and Lysias thought that he had secured him in St. Paul’s person. The discrepancies between Josephus and St. Luke here make mutual borrowing improbable. See Theudas. </p> <p> A. J. Maclean. </p> | ||
