saw their hope of profit
was gone, they seized

them into the marketplace before the authorities.

they had brought them
before the magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion.
They are
Jews

or practice,
since we are
Romans.”

he has brought Greeks into the inner courts of the temple
and made this holy place ritually unclean!”

and the people rushed together.
They seized
Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts,

to kill him, a report
was sent up
to the commanding officer
of the cohort
that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
