Acts 21:30-40

TheG3588 wholeG3650 cityG4172 was stirred upG2795, andG2532 theG3588 peopleG2992 rushed togetherG1096G4890. They seizedG1949 PaulG3972 and draggedG1670 himG846 out ofG1854 theG3588 templeG2411, andG2532 at onceG2112 theG3588 gatesG2374 were shutG2808. 31While they were tryingG2212 to killG615 himG846, theG3588 commanderG5506 of theG3588 Roman regimentG46861 receivedG305 a reportG5334 thatG3754 allG3650 JerusalemG2419 was in turmoilG4797. 32ImmediatelyG1824 he tookG3880 some soldiersG4757 andG2532 centurionsG1543 and ran downG2701 toG1909 the crowd. When the people sawG3708 theG3588 commanderG5506 andG2532 theG3588 soldiersG4757, they stoppedG3973 beatingG5180 PaulG3972.

TheG3588 commanderG5506 came upG1448 and arrestedG1949 Paul, ordering thatG2753 he be boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254. ThenG2532 he askedG4441 whoG5101 he wasG1510 andG2532 whatG5101 he had doneG1510G4160.

34Some inG1722 theG3588 crowdG3793 were shoutingG2019 one thingG5100, and some anotherG243. AndG1161 since the commander could notG3361G1410 get atG1097 theG3588 truthG804 because ofG1223 theG3588 uproarG2351, he ordered thatG2753 Paul be broughtG71 intoG1519 theG3588 barracksG3925. 35WhenG3753 Paul reachedG1096G1909 theG3588 stepsG304, heG846 had to be carriedG941 byG5259 theG3588 soldiersG4757 because ofG1223 theG3588 violenceG970 of theG3588 mobG3793. 36ForG1063 theG3588 crowdG4128G3588G2992 that followedG190 him kept shoutingG2896, “Away withG142 himG846!”

37As they were aboutG3195 to takeG1521 PaulG3972 intoG1519 theG3588 barracksG3925, he askedG3004 theG3588 commanderG5506, “MayG1487G1832 IG1473 sayG2036 somethingG5100 toG4314 youG4771?”

“Do you speakG1097 GreekG1676?” he repliedG5346. 38“Aren’tG1510G3756 youG4771 theG3588 EgyptianG124 whoG3588 incited a rebellionG387 some time agoG4253G3778G3588G2250 andG2532 ledG1806 four thousandG5070 membersG435 of theG3588 AssassinsG4607 intoG1519 theG3588 wildernessG2048?”

39ButG1161 PaulG3972 answeredG2036, “IG1473 amG1510 a JewG2453G444 from TarsusG5018 in CiliciaG2791, a citizenG4177 of noG3756 ordinaryG767 cityG4172. NowG1161 I begG1189 youG4771 to allowG2010 meG1473 to speakG2980 toG4314 theG3588 peopleG2992.”

Having received permissionG846G2010, PaulG3972 stoodG2476 onG1909 theG3588 stepsG304 and motionedG2678 to theG3588 crowdG2992. A greatG4183 hushG4602 came overG1096 the crowd, and he addressedG4377 them inG3588 HebrewG1446G1258G3004:2
