saith the
Holy
Ghost,
So
shall the

at

bind the
man
that
owneth
this

deliver him
into the

And when they
heard it, they
glorified the
Lord,
and
said unto
him, Thou
seest,
brother, how
many
thousands of
Jews there
are
which
believe;
and they
are
all
zealous of the
law:
|
- 21:21
And they are
informed
of
thee,
that thou
teachest
all the
Jews which are
among the
Gentiles
to
forsake
Moses,
saying that
they
ought
not to
circumcise their
children,
neither to
walk after the
customs.

come.

therefore
this
that we
say to
thee:
We

have a
vow
on
them;
|
- 21:24
Them
take, and purify
thyself
with
them,
and be at
charges
with
them,
that they may
shave their
heads:
and
all may
know that those
things,
whereof they were
informed
concerning
thee,
are
nothing;
but that thou
thyself
also walkest
orderly, and
keepest the
law.

touching the
Gentiles which
believe,
we have
written and
concluded that
they
observe
no such
thing, save
only that they
keep
themselves
from things offered to
idols,
and from
blood,
and from
strangled,
and from
fornication.

Paul
took the
men, and the

himself
with
them

offering should be

one of
them.

laid
hands
on
him,
|
- 21:28 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.
|
- 21:29
(For they
had seen
before
with
him
in the
city
Trophimus an
Ephesian,
whom they
supposed
that
Paul had
brought
into the
temple.)
|
- 21:30
And
all the
city was
moved,
and the
people ran
together
*:

took
Paul, and

him out
of the
temple:

forthwith the
doors were
shut.

him,
tidings
came unto the chief

all
Jerusalem was in an
uproar.

immediately
took
soldiers
and
centurions, and ran
down
unto
them:

saw the chief
captain
and the
soldiers, they
left
beating of
Paul.

some
cried one
thing, some
another,
among the
multitude:

him to be
carried
into the
castle.
|
- 21:35
And
when he
came
upon the
stairs, so it
was, that he was
borne
of the
soldiers
for the
violence of the
people.

multitude of the
people followed

Away with
him.

Paul was to
be
led
into the
castle, he
said unto the chief

thee
*

speak
Greek?

am
* a
man which am a
Jew of

thee,
suffer
me to
speak
unto the
people.
