Acts 21:31 in Context — Acts 21
29 Car ils avaient vu auparavant Trophime d’Éphèse avec lui dans la ville, et ils croyaient que Paul l’avait fait entrer dans le temple.
30 Toute la ville fut émue, et le peuple accourut de toutes parts. Ils se saisirent de Paul, et le traînèrent hors du temple, dont les portes furent aussitôt fermées.
31 Comme ils cherchaient à le tuer, le bruit vint au tribun de la cohorte que tout Jérusalem était en confusion.
32 A l’instant il prit des soldats et des centeniers, et courut à eux. Voyant le tribun et les soldats, ils cessèrent de frapper Paul.
33 Alors le tribun s’approcha, se saisit de lui, et le fit lier de deux chaînes. Puis il demanda qui il était, et ce qu’il avait fait.
