Acts 21:27-36 - Paul Arrested In The Temple Courts

²⁷ And when the seven days were about to be accomplished, the Jews that were from Asia seeing him in the temple, ²⁸ stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, Crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: yea, and hath even brought Greeks into the temple, and polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed Paul had brought into the temple.

³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and the people ran together; and laying hold on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut. ³¹ And as they went about to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar: ³² Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased from beating Paul. ³³ Then the tribune came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired, Who he was, and what he had done? ³⁴ But some among the multitude cried out one thing, some another; and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. ³⁵ But when he came upon the stairs, he was borne of the soldiers, through the violence of the people. ³⁶ For the multitude of people followed after, crying, Away with him.
