Deeds (Act) of Apostles 21:28-39

²⁸and cried, Men of Israel, help ye us. This is the man, that against the people and the law and this place teacheth everywhere all men, more-over and hath led heathen men into the temple, and hath defouled this holy place.

²⁹For they saw Trophimus of Ephesus in the city with him, whom they guessed that Paul had brought into the temple.

³⁰And all the city was moved, and a running together of the people was made. And they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple; and anon the gates were closed.

³¹And when they sought to slay him, it was told to the tribune of the company of knights, that all Jerusalem is confounded.

³²Which anon took knights, and centurions, and ran to them. And when they had seen the tribune, and the knights, they ceased to smite Paul.

³³Then the tribune came, and caught him, and commanded, that he were bound with two chains; and asked, who he was, and what he had done.

³⁴But others cried other thing among the people. And when he might know no certain thing for the noise, he commanded him to be led into the castles.

³⁵And when Paul came to the grees, it befell that he was borne of knights, for strength of the people.

³⁶For the multitude of the people pursued him, and cried, Take him away.

³⁷And when Paul began to be led into the castles, he said to the tribune, Whether it is leaveful to me, to speak anything to thee? And he said, Knowest thou Greek?

³⁸Whether thou art not the Egyptian, which before these days movedest a noise, and leddest out into desert four thousand of men, menslayers?

³⁹And Paul said to him, For I am a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen, which city is not unknown. And I pray thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
