updv - Acts:21:27-22:29

updv@Acts:21:27 @ And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

updv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and has defiled this holy place.

updv@Acts:21:29 @ For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.

updv@Acts:21:30 @ And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.

updv@Acts:21:31 @ And as they were seeking to kill him, news came up to the Colonel of the Battalion, All Jerusalem is in confusion.

updv@Acts:21:32 @ And forthwith he took soldiers and captains, and ran down on them: and they, when they saw the colonel and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.

updv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the colonel came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.

updv@Acts:21:34 @ And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.

updv@Acts:21:35 @ And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;

updv@Acts:21:36 @ for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.

updv@Acts:21:37 @ And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he says to the colonel, May I say something to you? And he said, Do you know Greek?

updv@Acts:21:38 @ Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?

updv@Acts:21:39 @ But Paul said, I am a Jewish man, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I urge you, give me leave to speak to the people.

updv@Acts:21:40 @ And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

updv@Acts:22:1 @ Men: brothers and fathers, hear(note:){+}(:note) the defense which I now make to you{+}.

updv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he says,

updv@Acts:22:3 @ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, instructed at the feet of Gamaliel according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God even as all of you(note:){+}(:note) are this day:

updv@Acts:22:4 @ and I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

updv@Acts:22:5 @ As also the high priest bears me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

updv@Acts:22:6 @ And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew near to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light around me.

updv@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

updv@Acts:22:8 @ And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.

updv@Acts:22:9 @ And those who were with me indeed saw the light, but they didn't hear the voice of him who spoke to me.

updv@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it will be told you of all things which are appointed for you to do.

updv@Acts:22:11 @ And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me I came into Damascus.

updv@Acts:22:12 @ And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,

updv@Acts:22:13 @ came to me, and standing by me said to me, Brother Saul, receive your sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him.

updv@Acts:22:14 @ And he said, The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

updv@Acts:22:15 @ For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

updv@Acts:22:16 @ And now why do you tarry? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.

updv@Acts:22:17 @ And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,

updv@Acts:22:18 @ and saw him saying to me, Hurry, and get quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of you testimony concerning me.

updv@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed on you:

updv@Acts:22:20 @ and when the blood of Stephen your witness was shed, I also was standing by, and giving approval, and keeping the garments of those who slew him.

updv@Acts:22:21 @ And he said to me, Depart: for I will send you forth far from here to the Gentiles.

updv@Acts:22:22 @ And they gave him audience to this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

updv@Acts:22:23 @ And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,

updv@Acts:22:24 @ the colonel commanded him to be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.

updv@Acts:22:25 @ And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the captain that stood by, Is it lawful for you(note:){+}(:note) to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?

updv@Acts:22:26 @ And when the captain heard it, he went to the colonel and told him, saying, What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.

updv@Acts:22:27 @ And the colonel came and said to him, Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.

updv@Acts:22:28 @ And the colonel answered, With a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born.

updv@Acts:22:29 @ They then who were about to examine him immediately departed from him: and the colonel also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
