Read Acts 21.27-36
In 21.26-23.10: Conflicts in the Temple.
In verses 26-28: In Luke-Acts, the temple was a place where Jesus and Stephen testified in the face of the extended provocation of adversaries (Lk 20.1-21.4; Acts 8.8-7.60; Acts 3.1-4.31), including charges of teaching ... against this place (6.13; Lk 21.5-6).
In verses 30-32: Luke depicts a mob dragging Paul outside the sacred precincts to kill him as a temple defiler (see also Jesus in Lk 4.16-30 and Stephen in Acts 6-7), prompting the Roman army tribune (Claudius Lysias, 23.2) to call out his cohort of a thousand soldiers (see also Gallio in 18.12-17; 19.28-41).
