31 While they were trying to kill him, the commander (of a thousand men) of the Roman regiment \the commander of the cohort/ received a report that all Jerusalem (city of peace) was in turmoil. 32 Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander (of a thousand men) and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul (humble). 33 The commander (of a thousand men) came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done. 34 Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. Acts 21:31-34, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
