⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: `They are' like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

¹¹ But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

²⁷ And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

²⁸ crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.

²⁹ For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.

³⁰ And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.

³¹ And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

²⁷ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
