*
And when the seven days were almost ended ,
the Jews which were of Asia ,
when they saw him in the temple ,
stirred up all the people ,
and laid hands on him ,
*
Crying out ,
Men of Israel ,
help :
This is the man ,
that teacheth all men every where against the people ,
and the law ,
and this place :
and further brought Greeks also into the temple ,
and hath polluted this holy place .
* (
For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian ,
whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple .)
*
And all the city was moved ,
and the people ran together :
and they took Paul ,
and drew him out of the temple :
and forthwith the doors were shut .
*
And as they went about to kill him ,
tidings came unto the chief captain of the band ,
that all Jerusalem was in an uproar .
*
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions ,
and ran down unto them :
and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers ,
they left beating of Paul .
*
Then the chief captain came near ,
and took him ,
and commanded him to be bound with two chains ;
and demanded who he was ,
and what he had done .
*
And some cried one thing ,
some another ,
among the multitude :
and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult ,
he commanded him to be carried into the castle .
*
And when he came upon the stairs ,
so it was ,
that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people .
*
For the multitude of the people followed after ,
crying ,
Away with him .
*
And as Paul was to be led into the castle ,
he said unto the chief captain ,
May I speak unto thee ?
Who said ,
Canst thou speak Greek ?
*
Art not thou that Egyptian ,
which before these days madest an uproar ,
and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers ?
*
But Paul said ,
I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus ,
a city in Cilicia ,
a citizen of no mean city :
and ,
I beseech thee ,
suffer me to speak unto the people .
*
And when he had given him licence ,
Paul stood on the stairs ,
and beckoned with the hand unto the people .
And when there was made a great silence ,
he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue ,
saying ,
