Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
Acts 21:28 — KJV
Crying out. The cry was raised as though Paul were guilty of some serious crime of disorder.
Against the people, ... law, ...place. The same charge that had been leveled against Stephen (ch. 6:13, 14), and doubtless against Paul on many previous occasions (see chs. 13:45; 14:2; 17:5, 6; 18:6, 12-15; 19:9). Saul, who had once brought charges against Stephen and consented to his death (ch. 26:10; AA 98, 102, 116), is now Paul, standing courageously in the face of a similar accusation, under threat of a similar death.
Brought Greeks. He was thought to have brought uncircumcised Gentiles into the holy precincts, inside the “middle wall of partition” (Eph. 2:14), which separated the outer court of the Gentiles from the area where only Jews were allowed to enter (Josephus Antiquities xv. 11. 5). Inscriptions in Greek and Hebrew placed on that partition wall warned non-Jews not to proceed farther (see Vol. V, p. 67). See illustration facing p. 449.
