Acts 23:10-11 Yet, with so much commotion and dispute occurring and becoming so violent, the commander – fearing that Paul would at some point be torn in two (or: pulled apart) by them – commanded the troop (band of soldiers) to bring him into the barracks after descending to snatch him out of the midst of them.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Yet, with so much commotion and dispute occurring and becoming so violent, the commander – fearing [that] Paul would at some point be torn in two (or: pulled apart) by them – commanded the troop (band of soldiers) to bring [him] into the barracks after descending to snatch him out of the midst of them. ¹¹ Now in the following night, the Lord [= Christ or Yahweh], while standing by him, said, "Be increasingly receiving courage and confidence, for as you delivered a thorough witness of the things concerning Me into Jerusalem, in this way it continues binding and necessary for you yourself to deliver a witness (a testimony; evidence) into Rome also."
