And they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”
12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos et, qui lociillius erant, ne ipse ascenderet Ierusalem.	12 And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Tunc respondit Paulus: “ Quidfacitis flentes et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari sed et moriin Ierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu ”.	13 Then Paul responded by saying: “What do you accomplish by weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

20 At illi cum audissent, glorificabant Deumdixeruntque ei: “ Vides, frater, quot milia sint in Iudaeis, qui crediderunt,et omnes aemulatores sunt legis;	20 And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: “You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 audierunt autem de te quia discessionemdoceas a Moyse omnes, qui per gentes sunt, Iudaeos, dicens non deberecircumcidere eos filios suos neque secundum consuetudines ambulare.	21 Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.

And then everyone will know that the things that they have heard about you are false, but that you yourself walk in keeping with the law.

28 clamantes: “ Viri Israelitae, adiuvate! Hic est homo, qui adversus populum etlegem et locum hunc omnes ubique docens, insuper et Graecos induxit in templumet polluit sanctum locum istum ”.	28 “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching, everyone, everywhere, against the people and the law and this place. Furthermore, he has even brought Gentiles into the temple, and he has violated this holy place.”
29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium incivitate cum ipso, quem aestimabant quoniam in templum induxisset Paulus.	29 (For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi, et apprehendentesPaulum trahebant eum extra templum, et statim clausae sunt ianuae.	30 And the entire city was stirred up. And it happened that the people ran together. And apprehending Paul, they dragged him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were closed.
31 Quaerentibus autem eum occidere, nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia totaconfunditur Ierusalem,	31 Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”
32 qui statim, assumptis militibus et centurionibus,decucurrit ad illos; qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites, cessaveruntpercutere Paulum.	32 And so, immediately taking soldiers and centurions, he rushed down to them. And when they had seen the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased to strike Paul.
33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum et iussit alligaricatenis duabus et interrogabat quis esset et quid fecisset.	33 Then the tribune, drawing near, apprehended him and ordered that he be bound with two chains. And he was asking who he was and what he had done.
34 Alii autem aliudclamabant in turba; et cum non posset certum cognoscere prae tumultu, iussitduci eum in castra.	34 Then they were crying out various things within the crowd. And since he could not understand anything clearly because of the noise, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.

37 Et cum coepisset induci in castra, Paulus dicit tribuno: “ Si licet mihiloqui aliquid ad te? ”. Qui dixit: “ Graece nosti?	37 And as Paul was beginning to be brought into the fortress, he said to the tribune, “Is it permissible for me to say something to you?” And he said, “You know Greek?
38 Nonne tu es Aegyptius,qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti et eduxisti in desertum quattuor miliavirorum sicariorum? ”.	38 So then, are you not that Egyptian who before these days incited a rebellion and led out into the desert four thousand murderous men?”
39 Et dixit Paulus: “ Ego homo sum quidem Iudaeus aTarso Ciliciae, non ignotae civitatis municeps; rogo autem te, permitte mihiloqui ad populum ”.	39 But Paul said to him: “I am a man, indeed a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a well-known city. So I petition you, permit me to speak to the people.”
40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibusannuit manu ad plebem et, magno silentio facto, allocutus est Hebraea linguadicens:	40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people.
