Acts 21:32-34

Expanded Bible

³² Immediately he took some ·officers and soldiers [^Lsoldiers and centurions; ^Ccenturions oversaw about a hundred soldiers] and ran to the place where the crowd was gathered. When the people saw ·them [^Lthe tribune and the soldiers], they stopped beating Paul. ³³ The ·commander [tribune] went to Paul and arrested him. He told his soldiers to ·bind [shackle] Paul with two chains. Then he ·asked [inquired about] who he was and what he had done wrong. ³⁴ Some in the crowd were yelling one thing, and some were yelling another. Because of all this ·confusion and shouting [uproar; noise; tumult], the commander could not learn ·what had happened [the truth/facts]. So he ordered the soldiers to take Paul to the ·army building [barracks; ^Cprobably the Roman garrison known as the Antonia fortress, overlooking the temple from the north].
