Acts21:32
32 Who immediately took soldiers, and centurions, and ran down unto them: And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
A wonderful Providence of God for Paul's preservation, that the chief Captain should be so near, as to be able to hinder the Massacring of Paul; and especially that he should be defended and preserved by one that was a stranger to him, and an enemy to his Religion;
lest they should have been set upon by the Soldiers, for breaking the Peace, &c. The fear of man caused them to forbear what the fear of God could not.
