Paul Arrested in the Temple
27 When [See ver. 26above] the seven days were almost completed, See ch. 13:50the Jews from Asia, ch. 24:18;26:21seeing 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 ver. 21is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and See ch. 6:13the law and See ch. 6:13this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and ch. 24:6has defiled See ch. 6:13this holy place." 29 For they had previously seen ch. 20:4Trophimus 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 ch. 26:21;[2 Kgs. 11:15]dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. 31 [See ver. 30above] And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of See ch. 10:1the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 32 [ch. 23:27]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.
