Deuteronomy 19:15-21 and Acts 21:27-36 (Good News Translation)

DEUTERONOMY 19:15-21
CONCERNING WITNESSES
15  “One witness is not enough to convict someone of a crime; at least two witnesses are necessary to prove that someone is guilty. 
16  If any of you try to harm another by false accusations, 
17  both of you are to go to the one place of worship and be judged by the priests and judges who are then in office. 
18  The judges will investigate the case thoroughly; and if you have made a false accusation, 
19  you are to receive the punishment the accused would have received. In this way your nation will get rid of this evil. 
20  Then everyone else will hear what happened; they will be afraid, and no one will ever again do such an evil thing. 
21  In such cases show no mercy; the punishment is to be a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.

ACTS 21:27-36
PAUL ARRESTED IN THE TEMPLE
27  But just when the seven days were about to come to an end, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in the Temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and grabbed Paul. 
28  “People of Israel!” they shouted. “Help! This is the man who goes everywhere teaching everyone against the people of Israel, the Law of Moses, and this Temple. And now he has even brought some Gentiles into the Temple and defiled this holy place!” 
29  (They said this because they had seen Trophimus from Ephesus with Paul in the city, and they thought that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
30  Confusion spread through the whole city, and the people all ran together, grabbed Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple. At once the Temple doors were closed. 
31  The mob was trying to kill Paul, when a report was sent up to the commander of the Roman troops that all of Jerusalem was rioting. 
32  At once the commander took some officers and soldiers and rushed down to the crowd. When the people saw him with the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 
33  The commander went over to Paul, arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked, “Who is this man, and what has he done?” 
34  Some in the crowd shouted one thing, others something else. There was such confusion that the commander could not find out exactly what had happened, so he ordered his men to take Paul up into the fort. 
35  They got as far as the steps with him, and then the soldiers had to carry him because the mob was so wild. 
36  They were all coming after him and screaming, “Kill him!”
