ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Acts 21

Okay, so in the Bible there's a chapter called Acts 21. This chapter is about a man named Paul who went to a city called Jerusalem. He had some friends there and he wanted to visit them.

When he arrived in Jerusalem, some of the people were not very happy to see him. They thought he was doing bad things and blamed him for causing trouble. But Paul insisted that he hadn't done anything wrong and wanted to clear his name.

He went to see the leaders of the church in Jerusalem and told them about all of the good things he had been doing. They believed him and were happy that he was there.

Later on, Paul went to the temple to pray. While he was there, some people saw him and started to yell at him. They were angry because they thought he was teaching things that were not true. They even tried to hurt him!

The Roman soldiers had to come and protect Paul from these angry people. They took him away and put him in jail so that he would be safe.

So, in Acts 21, we see Paul going to Jerusalem, trying to clear his name, and getting into trouble with some people who didn't like him. But he still believed in what he was doing and was willing to stand up for himself.
