Acts 21:30

The whole city was stirred up, ¹  and the people rushed together. ²  They seized ³  Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts, ⁴  and immediately the doors were shut.

Mt 2:3; Mt 21:10; Lu 4:29; Ac 7:57,58; Ac 16:19; Ac 16:20-22; Ac 19:29; Ac 26:21; 2Co 11:26

¹ tn On this term see BDAG 545 s.v. κινέω 2.b.

² tn Or “the people formed a mob.” BDAG 967 s.v. συνδρομή has “formation of a mob by pers. running together, running together…ἐγένετο σ. τοῦ λαοῦ the people rushed together Ac 21:30.”

³ tn Grk “and seizing.” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενοι (epilabomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has not been translated here.

⁴ tn Grk “out of the temple.” See the note on the word “temple” in v. 28.
