Apostelgeschichte 21:30 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:30

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together,
&c.] The outcry in the temple reached the ears of some that were without, and these alarmed others; so that the report of a disturbance in the temple soon went through the whole city; and brought people out of their houses, who ran together in great numbers, to see what was the matter:

and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple;
as unworthy to be in that holy place; and that it might not be defiled with his blood; for their intention was nothing less than to take away his life:

and forthwith the doors were shut;
not of themselves, as if there was something miraculous in it, as some have thought, but by the door keepers, the Levites; and which might be done, partly to prevent Paul's returning into it for refuge at the horns of the altar, and partly to keep out the Gentiles from coming in, they were alarmed with.

Apostelgeschichte 21:30 In-Context

28 Ihr Männer von Israel, helft! Dies ist der Mensch, der alle Menschen an allen Enden lehrt wider dies Volk, wider das Gesetz und wider diese Stätte; dazu hat er auch Griechen in den Tempel geführt und diese heilige Stätte gemein gemacht.
29 (Denn sie hatten mit ihm in der Stadt Trophimus, den Epheser gesehen; den, meinten sie, hätte Paulus in den Tempel geführt.)
30 Und die ganze Stadt ward bewegt, und ward ein Zulauf des Volks. Sie griffen aber Paulus und zogen ihn zum Tempel hinaus; und alsbald wurden die TĂĽren zugeschlossen.
31 Da sie ihn aber töten wollten, kam das Geschrei hinauf vor den obersten Hauptmann der Schar, wie das ganze Jerusalem sich empörte.
32 Der nahm von Stund an die Kriegsknechte und Hauptleute zu sich und lief unter sie. Da sie aber den Hauptmann und die Kriegsknechte sahen, hörten sie auf, Paulus zu schlagen.
