28 yelling, “Men of Israel! Help! Help! This is the man who preaches against our people and tells everybody to disobey the Jewish laws. He even talks against the Temple and defiles it by bringing Gentiles in!”
29 (For down in the city earlier that day, they had seen him with Trophimus, a Gentile from Ephesus in Turkey, and assumed that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
30 The whole population of the city was electrified by these accusations and a great riot followed. Paul was dragged out of the Temple, and immediately the gates were closed behind him.
31 As they were killing him, word reached the commander of the Roman garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 He quickly ordered out his soldiers and officers and ran down among the crowd. When the mob saw the troops coming, they quit beating Paul.
33 The commander arrested him and ordered him bound with double chains. Then he asked the crowd who he was and what he had done.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another. When he couldn’t find out anything in all the uproar and confusion, he ordered Paul to be taken to the armory.
35 As they reached the stairs, the mob grew so violent that the soldiers lifted Paul to their shoulders to protect him,
36 and the crowd surged behind shouting, “Away with him, away with him!”
