Acts 17:5
17:5 But the Jews became jealous,
and gathering together some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace,
they formed a mob
and set the city in an uproar.
They attacked Jason’s house,
trying to find Paul and Silas
to bring them out to the assembly.

Acts 19:28-41
19:28 When they heard this they became enraged and began to shout, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
19:29 The city was filled with the uproar, and the crowd rushed to the theater together, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.
19:30 But when Paul wanted to enter the public assembly, the disciples would not let him.
19:31 Even some of the provincial authorities who were his friends sent a message to him, urging him not to venture into the theater.
19:32 So then some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had met together.
19:33 Some of the crowd concluded it was about Alexander because the Jews had pushed him to the front. Alexander, gesturing with his hand, was wanting to make a defense before the public assembly.
19:34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” for about two hours.
19:35 After the city secretary quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, what person is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image that fell from heaven?
19:36 So because these facts are indisputable, you must keep quiet and not do anything reckless.
19:37 For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.
19:38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against someone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another there.
19:39 But if you want anything in addition, it will have to be settled in a legal assembly.
19:40 For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause we can give to explain this disorderly gathering.”
19:41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
Acts 21:30-31
21:30 The whole city was stirred up,
and the people rushed together.
They seized
Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts,
and immediately the doors were shut.
21:31 While they were trying
to kill him, a report
was sent up
to the commanding officer
of the cohort
that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Acts 22:22-23
The Roman Commander Questions Paul
22:22 The crowd was listening to him until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Away with this man from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!”
22:23 While they were screaming and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust in the air,
