Who this is
Egyptian refers generally to a native of Egypt and appears throughout both Testaments, from Joseph's rise to power in Pharaoh's court and Israel's captivity and exodus to Paul's arrest in Acts, where a Roman officer briefly mistakes him for "the Egyptian" who had recently led an armed uprising, a rebel leader also mentioned independently by the historian Josephus.
