²⁹ And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

¹² For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

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.

³² And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.

²³ And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:

²⁴ And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.

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

⁵⁸ Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

²⁵ This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

⁵⁹ So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

⁴⁰ But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

³⁷ I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

³² The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

³³ The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.

¹⁴ The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.

³⁵ Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.

¹² And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.
