32 who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul.
33 Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains,—and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done;
34 but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle.
35 And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude;
36 for the throng of the people was following, crying out—Away with him!
37 But, when he was on the point of being taken into the castle, Paul saith unto the captain—Is it allowed me, to say somewhat unto thee? And he said—With Greek, art thou acquainted?
