27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, Acts 20:19; 24:18the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and Acts 26:21laid hands on him, 28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man (Matt. 24:15); Acts 6:13; 24:6who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." 29 (For they had previously seen Acts 20:4Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And 2 Kin. 11:15; Acts 16:19; 26:21all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut. 31 Now as they were 2 Cor. 11:23seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 Acts 23:27; 24:7He immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
