Psalm 29:6-11
New International Version
6 He makes Lebanon leap(A) like a calf,
Sirion[a](B) like a young wild ox.(C)
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.(D)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.(E)
9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[b](F)
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”(G)

New International Version
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[a] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”(A)

Paul Arrested
27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,(A) 28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”(B) 29 (They had previously seen Trophimus(C) the Ephesian(D) in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul,(E) they dragged him(F) from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut. 31 While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.(G)
33 The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound(H) with two(I) chains.(J) Then he asked who he was and what he had done. 34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another,(K) and since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.(L) 35 When Paul reached the steps,(M) the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. 36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!”(N)
Paul Speaks to the Crowd(O)
37 As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks,(P) he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?”
“Do you speak Greek?” he replied. 38 “Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness(Q) some time ago?”(R)
39 Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus(S) in Cilicia,(T) a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.”
40 After receiving the commander’s permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned(U) to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic[a]:(V)
