Acts 21:27-36

27And whenG5613 the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almost completed, the JewsG2453 from AsiaG773, whenG5613 they sawG2300 him in the temple, stirred up all the multitudeG3793 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on him, 28cryingG2896 out, MenG444 of Israel, helpG997: This isG1510 the manG444 that teacheth all menG444 everywhereG3837 against the peopleG2992, and the lawG3551, and this placeG5117; and moreover he broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 alsoG2532 into the templeG2411, and hath defiledG2840 this holyG40 placeG5117. 29For they had before seen with him in the cityG4172 TrophimusG5161 the EphesianG2180, whom they supposed that PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 into the temple. 30And all the cityG4172 was movedG2795, and the peopleG2992 ran together; and they laid holdG1949 on PaulG3972, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doorsG2374 were shutG2808. 31And as they were seekingG2212 to killG615 him, tidings cameG305 up to the chief captain of the band, that all JerusalemG2419 was in confusion. 32And forthwith he tookG3880 soldiersG4757 and centurionsG1543, and ran down upon them: and they, when they sawG3708 the chief captain and the soldiersG4757, left off beatingG5180 PaulG3972. 33Then the chief captain came near, and laid holdG1949 on him, and commandedG2753 him to beG1510 boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254; and inquiredG4441 who he wasG1510, and what he had done. 34And some shouted oneG5100 thing, some another, among the crowdG3793: and when he could not knowG1097 the certainty for the uproarG2351, he commandedG2753 him to be broughtG71 into the castle. 35And whenG3753 he cameG1096 upon the stairsG304, so it was that he was borneG941 of the soldiersG4757 for the violenceG970 of the crowdG3793; 36for the multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 followedG190 after, cryingG2896 out, AwayG142 with him.
