Acts 21:28-32

crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who instructs everyone everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”

For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple.

Then the whole city was provoked and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

While they were intent on killing him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

He immediately took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
