Who also hath gone about - Who has endeavored. To profane the temple - This was a serious, but unfounded charge. It arose from the gross calumny of the Jews, when they pretended that he had introduced Greeks into that sacred place, Acts 21:28. To this charge he replies in Acts 24:18. And would have judged - That is, would have condemned and punished. According to our law - Their law, which forbade the introduction of strangers into the temple. return to 'Top of Page'
