Hechos 21:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:29

For they had seen before with him in the city
Not of Ephesus, but of Jerusalem:

Trophimus an Ephesian;
the same that is mentioned in ( Acts 20:4 ) whom these Jews of Asia, and who very probably were inhabitants of Ephesus, knew very well to be a Gentile:

whom they supposed Paul had brought into the temple;
for seeing him walk with the apostle very familiarly through the streets of Jerusalem, they concluded from thence, that he took him with him into the temple, which was a very rash and ill grounded conclusion; and which shows the malignity and virulence of their minds, and how ready they were to make use of any opportunity, and take up any occasion against him, even a bare surmise, and which had no show of probability in it; for it can never be thought, that while Paul was using methods to remove the prejudices of the Jews against him, he should take such a step as this, to introduce a Gentile into the holy place, which he knew was unlawful, and would greatly irritate and provoke them.

Hechos 21:29 In-Context

27 Cuando estaban para cumplirse los siete días, los judíos de Asia, al verlo en el templo, comenzaron a incitar a todo el pueblo, y le echaron mano,

28 gritando: ¡Israelitas, ayudadnos! Este es el hombre que enseña a todos, por todas partes, contra nuestro pueblo, la ley y este lugar; además, incluso ha traído griegos al templo, y ha profanado este lugar santo.

29 Pues anteriormente habían visto a Trófimo el efesio con él en la ciudad, y pensaban que Pablo lo había traído al templo.

30 Se alborotó toda la ciudad, y llegó el pueblo corriendo de todas partes; apoderándose de Pablo lo arrastraron fuera del templo, y al instante cerraron las puertas.

31 Mientras procuraban matarlo, llegó aviso al comandante de la compañía romana que toda Jerusalén estaba en confusión.
