And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
Cross-reference
Acts 22:1
Parallel
Acts 22:1 begins Paul's defence speech — Alexander here also attempts to make a defence (apologia) to the people.
Acts 26:1
Contrast
In Acts 26:1, Paul is permitted to speak in his defense before Agrippa—contrasting with Alexander, who was silenced by the crowd here.
Acts 26:2
Contrast
Acts 26:2 shows Paul gladly beginning his defense before Agrippa, unlike Alexander who never got to defend himself. Both involve defense speeches with different outcomes.
2 Timothy 4:14
Historical context

Historical context
