Then all the city was moved, and the people rushed together, and taking Paul, they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut — Paul is forcibly expelled from the temple; the narrative echoes the ejection of merchants from the temple, yet here it is Paul, not the system, being expelled. The closing of the doors (perhaps symbolically) severs Paul from the holy place.
