Acts 19:31-33

Living Bible

³¹ Some of the Roman officers of the province, friends of Paul, also sent a message to him, begging him not to risk his life by entering.

³² Inside the people were all shouting, some one thing and some another—everything was in confusion. In fact, most of them didn’t even know why they were there.

³³ Alexander was spotted among the crowd by some of the Jews and dragged forward. He motioned for silence and tried to speak.
