- And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
- Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
- (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
- And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
- And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
|
- When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, upon seeing him in the temple, began to stir up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
- crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."
- For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
- Then all the city was provoked, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
- While they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
|
- Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
- Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
- And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
- And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
- For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
|
- At once he took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to them; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
- Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done.
- But among the crowd some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
- When he got to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
- for the multitude of the people kept following them, shouting, "Away with him!"
