Acts 21:27-40
Paul
Arrested in the Temple
27When the seven days were
almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred
up the whole crowd and laid
hands on him, 28crying out,
“Men of Israel, help!
This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” 29For they
had previously seen Trophimus
the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the
temple. 30Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at
once the gates were shut. 31And as they were seeking to kill him, word came
to the tribune of
the cohort that all
Jerusalem was in confusion. 32He at once
took soldiers and
centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 33Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him
to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done. 34Some 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 the barracks. 35And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of
the violence of the
crowd, 36for the mob of the people followed,
crying out, “Away with him!”
Paul Speaks to the People
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said
to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he
said, “Do you know Greek? 38Are you not
the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up
a revolt and led the four
thousand men of the Assassins out into the
wilderness?” 39Paul replied, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no
obscure city. I beg you,
permit me to speak to the people.” 40And when he
had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the
Hebrew language,e saying:
