It will be seen that the section begins and ends with an uproar in a temple, in each case instigated by men of

Asia, while its central members deal with prophetic warnings concerning the `bonds' that awaited the apostle. We

must now follow his footsteps through each of these six subdivisions, noting particularly the events that led to his

apprehension at Jerusalem by the Roman soldiers, which was the first step in the series of incidents that brought him

finally to Rome. Across the whole of Acts 19:21 to 28:31 might be written the apostle's opening words: `After I

have been there, I must also see Rome' (Acts 19:21), while across the second section could be written the Lord's

answering words:

`Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome'

(Acts 23:11).

Before we examine this passage more intimately, and before we attempt a description of the great Temple of

Diana, let us acquaint ourselves with the disposition of the subject-matter.
