²⁹ They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff.^(A)

⁵⁹ So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.^(A)

¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.^(A)

²⁸ shouting, “Fellow Israelites,^[a] help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against our people, our law, and this place; more than that, he has actually brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”^{(A) 29} For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.^{(B) 30} Then all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.^{(C) 31} While they were trying to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. ³² Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. When they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.^(D)

²³ After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely.^{(A) 24} Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.^(B)

⁵⁷ But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. ⁵⁸ Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him, and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.^(A)

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.^{(A) 25} It was to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’^(B)

⁴⁰ but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

³⁷ I know that you are descendants of Abraham, yet you look for an opportunity to kill me because there is no place in you for my word.
