Acts21,27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. > Paul is recognized
They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, > It is so interesting how peaceful Jerusalem seemed to be, before Paul ca. Immediately they start to hunt him down. Just Paul - all the time him!
28 shouting, Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place. > And we could think - is this really a reason to become so angry?
29 (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple area.) > They assumed!!!
IN MY ANGRE: HOW MUCH DO I ASSUME? - How much of my anger is fact, how much is just my prejudgement?
30 The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. > Why is everybody so angry!
Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut. > They just let it flow! Anger has just a incredible energy!
31 While they were trying to kill him, > They just went a head and wanted to kill Paul right on the spot! news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. > One men makes everybody so angry! This can not be just this men. Their is so much anger in me! 
32 He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. > OK, They would just beat Paul. Until the Romans came - 
33 The commander came up and arrested him > Why is Paul arrested and not the angry people!
and ordered him to be bound with two chains. > They even thought, that they need chains!
Then he asked who he was and what he had done. > When he was bound - he can start answering some questions ...
34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another, and since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. > ISN'T IT OBVIOUS NOW, THAT THEY BEAT PAUL WITHOUT ANY REASON - WHY IS NO ONE OF THIS ANGRY PEOPLE ARRESTED?
35 When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. > IT IS OBVIOUS - BUT THE HUMENS ARE AFRAID OF ANGRY PEOPLE, SO THEY SHUT DOWN THE QUIAT ONES
36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, Away with him! > It is obvious who are the bad people, but we are just not doing anything - we are week. But we would not confess our fears. We say we are wise and loving!

Am i angry?  <> Do i confess it
Am i weak? <> Do i confess it

Am i strong for the weak?
Am i strong against Anger?
