Acts 21:30-32

30The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul, dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

31As they were trying to kill him, word went up to the commander of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in chaos.

32Taking along soldiers and centurions, he immediately ran down to them. Seeing the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
