Acts 26:21

For these causes Lit. "on account of these things" which the R. V.better represents by "for this cause."

the Jews caught me[R. V.seized me] The word implies an arrest with violence.

and went about[R. V.assayed] to kill me St Paul combines the riot in the Temple with the subsequent plot before he was sent to Cæsarea. Or he may be alluding only to the violence by which he was nearly torn in pieces before the chief captain came to his rescue. The verb rendered "kill" indicates the laying violent hands on any one, and so favours the latter view.
