The Apostles and the missionaries who followed them brought us the Gospel at great price to themselves. Paul, for instance, was mobbed in Lystra and left for dead. In Ephesus there was a mob that gathered at the theater because Paul’s preaching had robbed the silversmiths of much business. In Jerusalem, Paul met with another mob. He had come to bring a gift of money from the Gentile churches to the poor believers in Jerusalem. Seen in the temple by men from the province where Ephesus was located, Asia, he was attacked as an enemy of the Jews and the temple. They dragged him from the temple, shut the doors, and were beating him with intent to kill when the Roman garrison sent a detail to stop the riot. They bound him and carried him bodily up the stairs to the barracks. At the top of the stairs, Paul asked the commander in Greek, if he might speak to the people. What he said is in the next chapter.
