When the apostle Paul wants to enter the temple in Jerusalem, he is dragged to the ground and beaten by the Jews. Roman soldiers remove the rioters and arrest Paul. In the background Paul addresses the Jewish crowd, shortly after his arrest. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a 34-part series on the Acts of the Apostles.
