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 a punto de cumplirse los siete días, unos judíos de la provincia de Asia vieron a Pablo en el templo. Alborotaron a toda la multitud y le echaron mano,

28 gritando: «¡Israelitas! ¡Ayúdennos! Este es el individuo que anda por todas partes enseñando a toda la gente contra nuestro pueblo, nuestra ley y este lugar. Además, hasta ha metido a unos griegos en el templo, y ha profanado este lugar santo».

29 Ya antes habían visto en la ciudad a Trófimo el efesio en compañía de Pablo, y suponían que Pablo lo había metido en el templo.

30 Toda la ciudad se alborotó. La gente se precipitó en masa, agarró a Pablo y lo sacó del templo a rastras, e inmediatamente se cerraron las puertas.

31 Estaban por matarlo, cuando se le informó al comandante del batallón romano que toda la ciudad de Jerusalén estaba amotinada.
