Acts 21:27-30

English Standard Version

Paul Arrested in the Temple

²⁷ When ^(A)the seven days were almost completed, ^(B)the Jews from Asia, ^(C)seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, ²⁸ crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who ^(D)is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and ^(E)the law and ^(F)this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and ^(G)has defiled ^(H)this holy place.” ²⁹ For they had previously seen ^(I)Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. ³⁰ Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and ^(J)dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
