Arrested in the Temple
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, aentered the temple bto announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.
27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, athe Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and blaid hands on him,
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man awho teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”
29 (For they had1 previously seen aTrophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And aall the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Now as they were aseeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the1 garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 aHe immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
