Acts 21:30-36

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ Then the whole city was provoked and ^[a]the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they ^(A)dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut. ³¹ While they were intent on killing him, a report came up to the commander of the ^(B)Roman ^[b]cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. ³² He immediately ^(C)took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to ^[c]the crowd; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. ³³ Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered that he be ^(D)bound with ^(E)two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done. ³⁴ But among the crowd, ^(F)some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the ^[d]facts because of the uproar, he ordered that ^[e]Paul be brought into ^(G)the barracks. ³⁵ When Paul got to ^(H)the stairs, it came about that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the ^[f]mob; ³⁶ for the multitude of people kept following them, shouting, “^(I)Away with him!”
