Acts 21:38

Then you are not the Egyptian who recently revolted and led the 4,000 knife-wielding men (the Sicarii) into the desert?"
[Paul was mistaken for an Egyptian who incited knife-wielding men. This group was called Sicarii because they had knives (Latin: sicari) hidden under their cloaks and assassinated their political opponents. They were a radical branch of the Zealots. The Jewish historian Josephus describes the same event in more detail. The Egyptian was a false prophet who led a large group into the desert. In 54 CE, he arrived at the Mount of Olives with his followers. He considered himself a messianic figure and, at his command, the walls of Jerusalem would fall, and they would then capture Jerusalem. Instead, Felix, the governor of Judea, arrived and killed and captured many of them, while the rest, including the Egyptian leader, fled. This is just one of many examples of unrest and rebellion that occurred at this time.]
