Passage: Acts 21:13, 27-33 (RSV)


Acts 21


13Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
 
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him,
28crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place."
29For they had previously seen Troph'imus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
31And as they were trying to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32He at once took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33Then the tribune came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.
