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.
