Acts 21:35

Paul Seized at the Temple

34Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks.35When Paul reached the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.36For the crowd that followed him kept shouting, “Away with him!”
