And they accompanied him to the ship.Acts 21:5When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey.

This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”Acts 21:29For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.Acts 21:30All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.Acts 21:31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.Acts 21:32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them.

I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”Acts 21:40When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,Acts 22:12One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,Acts 22:13came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.Acts 22:14He 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.Acts 22:15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.Acts 22:18and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’Acts 22:21“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”Acts 22:24the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.Acts 22:25When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”Acts 22:26When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”Acts 22:27The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
