Paul arrested in Jerusalem
A crowd seized Paul in the temple and tried to kill him until Roman troops intervened. Bound with two chains, Paul identified himself to the commander and received permission to address the people from the barracks steps (Acts 21:27-40).
Late 50s AD
27When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, 28crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.” 29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
