Acts 21:27-35
27WhenG5613 1the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almostG3195 overG4931, 2the JewsG2453 from 34AsiaG773, upon seeingG2300 him in the templeG2413, began to stirG4797 upG4797 allG3956 the crowdG3793 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on him,
28cryingG2896 outG2896, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, helpG997! 5ThisG3778 is the manG444 who instructsG1321 everyoneG3956 everywhereG3836 againstG2596 our peopleG2992 and the LawG3551 and thisG3778 placeG5117; and besidesG2089, he has evenG2532 broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 into the templeG2413 and has 6defiledG2840 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117!”
29For they had previouslyG4308 seenG4308 7TrophimusG5161 the 8EphesianG2180 in the cityG4172 with him, and they thoughtG3543 that PaulG3972 had broughtG1521 him into the templeG2413.
30ThenG2532 the wholeG3650 cityG4172 was provokedG2795 and 9the peopleG2992 rushedG4890 togetherG4890, and takingG1949 holdG1949 of PaulG3972 they 10draggedG1670 him out of the templeG2413, and immediatelyG2112 the doorsG2374 were shutG2808.
31While they were intentG2212 on killingG615 him, a reportG5334 cameG305 upG305 to the commanderG5506 of the 11Roman 12cohortG4686 that allG3650 JerusalemG2419 wasG4797 inG4797 confusionG4797.
32He immediatelyG1824 13tookG3880 alongG3880 some soldiersG4757 and centurionsG1543 and ranG2701 downG2701 to 14the crowd; and when they sawG3708 the commanderG5506 and the soldiersG4757, they stoppedG3973 beatingG5180 PaulG3972.
33ThenG5119 the commanderG5506 cameG1448 upG1448 and tookG1949 holdG1949 of him, and orderedG2753 that he be 15boundG1210 with 16twoG1417 chainsG254; and he began askingG4441 whoG5101 he was and whatG5101 he had doneG4160.
34But amongG1722 the crowdG3793, 17someG243 were shoutingG2019 one thing and someG243 anotherG243, and when he couldG1410 not findG1097 outG1097 the 18factsG804 becauseG1223 of the uproarG2351, he orderedG2753 that 19Paul be broughtG71 into 20the barracksG3925.
35WhenG3753 Paul gotG1096 to 21the stairsG304, it cameG4819 aboutG4819 that he was carriedG941 by the soldiersG4757 becauseG1223 of the violenceG970 of the 22mobG3793;
