New Testament

Acts 21:29-34 English Standard Version (ESV)

29. For they had previously seen Trophimus 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 dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

31. And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

32. 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.

33. Then 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.

34. Some 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.
