Acts 21:30-32

30The whole city was rocked by these accusations, and a great riot followed. Paul was grabbed and dragged out of the Temple, and immediately the gates were closed behind him.

31As they were trying to kill him, word reached the commander of the Roman regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

32He immediately called out his soldiers and officers and ran down among the crowd. When the mob saw the commander and the troops coming, they stopped beating Paul.
