27When the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia saw him in the sacred place and began to stir up the whole crowd, and they laid hands on him.28They were crying out, "Men of Israel, help: this is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover, he has brought Greeks into the sacred place and has profaned this holy place."29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the sacred place.30The whole city was stirred up, and a crowd of the people rushed together; and seizing Paul they dragged him out of the sacred place, and immediately the doors were shut.31While they were seeking to kill him, a report went up to the military officer of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.32He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down upon them; and when they saw the military officer and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.33Then the military officer approached, seized him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.34Some in the crowd were shouting one thing and others another; and since he could not learn the facts because of the commotion, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.35When he came upon the steps, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd.36For the multitude of the people kept following, crying out, "Away with him."
