Acts 14:19

19 aBut Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, bthey stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

Acts 17:5

5 cBut the Jews

ewere jealous, and taking fsome wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd.

Acts 18:12-17

12But when Gallio was gproconsul of Achaia, hthe Jews

made a united attack on Paul and jbrought him before the tribunal,
13saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to kthe law.” 14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious lcrime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15But msince it is a matter of questions about words and names and nyour own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16And he drove them from the tribunal. 17And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.

Acts 19:23-34

23About that time othere arose no little disturbance concerning pthe Way. 24For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, qbrought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 rThese he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, ssaying that tgods made with hands are not gods. 27And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the ugreat goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”

28When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, vGreat is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and wAristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul’s xcompanions in travel. 30But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. 31And even some of the Asiarchs,
That is, high-ranking officers of the province of Asia
who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater.
32 zNow some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander, aamotioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. 34But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice, abGreat is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

Acts 21:27-35

Paul Arrested in the Temple

27When acthe seven days were almost completed, adthe Jews from Asia, aeseeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, 28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who afis teaching everyone everywhere against the people and agthe law and ahthis place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and aihas defiled ajthis holy place.” 29For they had previously seen akTrophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and aldragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. 31 amAnd as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of anthe cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 32 aoHe at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 33Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him apto be bound aqwith two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done. 34 arSome in the crowd were shouting one thing, some another. And as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into asthe barracks. 35And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,

Acts 22:23

23And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air,

Acts 23:10

10And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into atthe barracks.

2 Corinthians 1:8-10

8For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church
of avthe affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.
9Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us awrely not on ourselves axbut on God aywho raises the dead. 10 azHe delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. baOn him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
