While they were trying<n id="1" /> to kill him, a report<n id="2" /> was sent up<n id="3" /> to the commanding officer<n id="4" /> of the cohort<n id="5" /> that all Jerusalem was in confusion.<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided<n id="1" /> to send men chosen from among them, Judas called Barsabbas and Silas,<n id="2" /> leaders among the brothers, to Antioch<n id="3" /> with Paul and Barnabas.

The whole city was stirred up,<n id="1" /> and the people rushed together.<n id="2" /> They seized<n id="3" /> Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts,<n id="4" /> and immediately the doors were shut.

There is danger not only that this business of ours will come into disrepute,<n id="1" /> but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis<n id="2" /> will be regarded as nothing,<n id="3" /> and she whom all the province of Asia<n id="4" /> and the world worship will suffer the loss of her greatness.&#8221;<n id="5" />p>
