Acts 26:21

James Moffatt - New Testament

This is why the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to assassinate me.

See the chapter Copy

The seven days were almost over when the Asiatic Jews, catching sight of him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,

as a special favour, to send for him to Jerusalem, meaning to lay an ambush for him and murder him on the road.

Till he said that, they had listened to him. But at that they shouted, "Away with such a creature from the earth! He is not fit to live!"
