No stranger (Non-Jew) could go past the balustrade surrounding the Temple and
its enclosure. If caught his life will be certainly forfeit.

One of the monumental inscriptions which, according to the contemporary historian Josephus, were placed on the pillars surrounding the Temple courts. This inscription warned foreigners, in Greek, not to enter the Temple's sacred grounds and that "whoever is caught will himself be responsible for his own death" (Wars V, 5, 3; Antiquities XV, 11, 5).

Jerusalem, Israel - What could possibly cause an entire city to stir and be driven to violence? What were the circumstances that led to this unusual occurrence? Luke describes the scene in Acts 21:30-31: "And all the city was moved, and the people came running from all directions; and they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and shut the gates. And as they were preparing to kill him, the news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar".

What could Paul have done to trigger such a violent reaction from the citizens of Jerusalem? Surely people could not have been so upset because a Jew, educated at the feet of the greatest teacher of his day, Rabban Gamaliel, had been bringing Gentile converts to the new Jewish sect that accepted Jesus as the Messiah. It had to be more than that - but what was it?
