Matthew 21:38-39
21:38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’
21:39 So
they seized him,
threw him out of the vineyard,
and killed him.

shouting out with a loud voice, and rushed at him with one intent.
Acts 17:5-7
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.
17:6 When they did not find them, they dragged
Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials,
screaming, “These people who have stirred up trouble
throughout the world
have come here too,
17:7 and
Jason has welcomed them as guests! They
are all acting against Caesar’s
decrees, saying there is another king named
Jesus!”
Acts 21:28-31
21:28 shouting, “Men of Israel,
help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our law,
and this sanctuary!
Furthermore
he has brought Greeks into the inner courts of the temple
and made this holy place ritually unclean!”
21:29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him previously, and
they assumed Paul had brought him into the inner temple courts.)
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 23:10
23:10 When the argument became
so great the commanding officer
feared that they would tear Paul to pieces,
he ordered the detachment
to go down, take him away from them by force,
and bring him into the barracks.
Acts 23:12-15
The Plot to Kill Paul
23:12 When morning came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they had killed Paul.
23:13 There were more than forty of them who formed this conspiracy.
23:14 They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to partake of anything until we have killed Paul.
23:15 So now you and the council request the commanding officer to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine his case by conducting a more thorough inquiry. We are ready to kill him before he comes near this place.”
