Acts 21:27-29
Tree of Life Version
Trouble at the Temple
27 When the seven days were about to be completed, the Jewish leaders from Asia[a] saw Paul in the Temple and began stirring up the whole crowd. They grabbed him, 28 shouting, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against our people and the Torah and this place. Besides, he has even brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled[b] this holy place!”
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the Temple.
