I do not wish to be a judge of such matters.' 16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat. 17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat.

And now he has even brought Greeks into the temple, defiling this holy place.' 29 They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with Paul in the city and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30 The whole city was stirred up, and there was a commotion. 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.
