21:26. Then Paul took the men and, the next day being purified with
them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of
the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every
one of them.
21:27. But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that
were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people
and laid hands upon him, crying out:
21:28. Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every
where against the people and the law and this place; and moreover hath
brought in Gentiles into the temple and hath violated this holy place.
21:29. (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him.
whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
21:30. And he whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together.
And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and immediately the
doors were shut.
21:31. And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of
the band that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
21:32. Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down
to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off
beating Paul.
21:33. Then the tribune, coming near, took him and commanded him to be
bound with two chains: and demanded who he was and what he had done.
21:34. 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.
21:35. And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was
carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
21:36. For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with
him!
21:37. And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to
the tribune: May I speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak
Greek?
21:38. Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a
tumult and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were
murderers?
21:39. But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen
of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
21:40. And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs,
beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he
spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
Acts Chapter 22
Paul declares to the people the history of his conversion. He escapes
scourging by claiming the privilege of a Roman citizen.
22:1. Men, brethren and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give
unto you.
22:2. (And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue,
they kept the more silence.)
22:3. And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought
up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth
of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this
day:
22:4. Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into
prisons both men and women,
22:5. As the high priest doth bear me witness and all the ancients. From
whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I
might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.
22:6. And it came to pass, as I was going and drawing nigh to Damascus,
at mid-day, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great
light:
