Acts 21:26-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.

²⁷ But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:

²⁸ Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.

²⁹ (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

³⁰ And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

³¹ And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.

³² Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.
