Commentary on Acts 21:29

Theological / Devotional

Trophimus an Ephesian. Trophimus was a companion of Paul, having traveled out of Macedonia with him (ch. 20:4). Some of the accusing Jews probably had known Trophimus in his home city. They had now seen him with Paul in Jerusalem, but there is no reason to believe that Paul had brought the man into the precincts forbidden to Gentiles. His freedom in the gospel never led Paul to ignore the scruples of others (Rom. 14:3-10; 1 Cor. 9:19-23 ; 10:27-31), nor did his courage degenerate into recklessness. The charge against him was false.
