⁵⁷ But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,

⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;

¹³ He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.

¹¹ But they would not give attention, turning their backs and stopping their ears from hearing;

⁵⁴ Hearing these things, they were cut to the heart and moved with wrath against him.

²⁷ And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the Temple, got the people together and put their hands on him,

²⁸ Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.

²⁹ For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.

³⁰ And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.

³¹ And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

²⁷ This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.
