Acts 21:30-32

30The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

31While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar.

32He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
