THE ROMANS SEIZE PAUL FROM AN ANGRY MOB OF JEWS (21:27-40):
Some Jews from Asia found Paul in the Temple and stirred up a crowd by saying he didn’t respect the Jewish Law and had brought Gentiles into the Temple.
“Then all the city was stirred up” and they dragged Paul out of the Temple.
The Jews wanted to kill him, but the Roman tribune took Paul from them.
The tribune arrested Paul and asked the crowd who he was and what crimes he had committed.
When the Jews offered him no clarity, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
But Paul asked for permission to speak to the crowd, which the tribune granted.
Standing on the steps of the barracks, Paul motioned to the people and addressed them in their native language (Hebrew).
