Paul Arrested in the Temple

Acts 21

²⁷ When _c the seven days were almost completed, _d the Jews from Asia, _e seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, ²⁸ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who _f is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and _g the law and _g this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and _h has defiled _g this holy place." ²⁹ For they had previously seen _i Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. ³⁰ Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and _j dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. ³¹ _j And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of _k the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. ³² _l He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. ³³ Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him _m to be bound _n with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done. ³⁴ _o Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, some another. And as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into _p the barracks. ³⁵ And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd, ³⁶ for the mob of the people followed, crying out, _q "Away with him!"
