Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you seek anything beyond this, it must be decided in a lawful assembly. 40 For we are in danger of being charged with rioting over today’s events, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion." Having said this, he dismissed the assembly.

They seized Paul, dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were shut. 31 While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in uproar. 32 At once, he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 33 The commander came up, arrested Paul, ordered him to be bound with two chains, and asked who he was and what he had done. 34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another. Because the commander could not get at the truth due to the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. 35 When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the crowd was so great that he had to be carried by the soldiers. 36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, 'Take him away!'

For as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.' 12 When daylight came, some of the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse, declaring that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. 13 There were more than forty who had taken this oath together. 14 They went to the chief priests and elders and said, 'We have bound ourselves under a solemn curse not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.' 15 Now then, you and the council should notify the commander to bring Paul down to you, as though you are going to investigate his case more thoroughly. We are ready to kill him before he gets here. 16 But the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, so he went to the barracks and reported it to Paul. 17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, 'Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.' 18 So the centurion took him, led him to the commander, and said, 'The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.' 19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked him privately, 'What is it you have to tell me?' 20 He said, 'The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they are going to inquire more thoroughly about him.' 21 But do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty of them are lying in wait for him. They have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready and waiting for your consent. 22 So the commander dismissed the young man and ordered him, 'Don’t tell anyone that you have informed me about this.' 23 Then he called two of the centurions and said, 'Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, by nine o’clock tonight.' 24 Also provide mounts for Paul to ride so that he may be taken safely to Felix, the governor.
