In about 58 C.E., the Philippians heard that Paul had been dragged outside the temple and beaten by a vicious mob in Jerusalem, had been arrested by the authorities, and, after an inconclusive detention, had been transferred to Rome in chains.
Umbes aastal 58 m.a.j. kuulsid filiplased, et Jeruusalemmas oli üks vihane rahvahulk Pauluse templist välja vedanud ja teda peksnud ning et võimud olid ta arreteerinud ja pärast kinnipidamist aheldatuna Rooma viinud.
