Commentary

Commentary on Acts 21:35

Theological / Devotional

Upon the stairs. The soldiers took him as far as one of the stairways leading up from the Temple to the Tower of Antonia (see on v. 31).

Borne of the soldiers. The guard actually had to carry Paul in order to take him out of the hands of the furious Jews, now clearly bent on killing him.

Violence of the people. The agitation of the crowd and the eagerness of the ringleaders to kill Paul became intensified as they saw their victim being taken from them.
