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

²⁷ The seven days being almost expir'd, the Asiatic Jews seeing him in the temple, rais'd a tumult, and fell upon him, ²⁸ bawling out, "men of Israel, help: this is the man that every where inveighs upon all occasions against the people, against the law, and against this place, where they have brought Greeks too to profane this holy place." ²⁹ (for having seen Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the city, they imagin'd Paul had conducted him into the temple.)

³⁰ the whole city was in an uproar, the people crouded together: they seized Paul, dragg'd him out of the temple, and then shut the gates. ³¹ as they were busy upon his execution, news came to the commander of the cohort, that the whole city was in an uproar. ³² immediately he headed a detachment, with his centurions, and march'd briskly to them; who, upon seeing the officer and his men, left off beating Paul. ³³ the commander advanc'd, seiz'd him, and order'd to load him with two chains: then demanded who he was, and what he had done. ³⁴ in the hubbub some cry'd one thing, some another: so that not being able to get any information for the tumult, he order'd him to be carried to the castle. ³⁵ as he was mounting the stairs, the soldiers bore him up thro' the violence of the people, who were all pressing after, ³⁶ roaring out, "away with him."
