Disciples’ Literal New Testament
While Executing The Plan, Paul Is Recognized By Ephesian Jews And Attacked
26 Then Paul— having taken along the men on the next day, having been purified together-with them— was going into the temple, giving-notice as to the completion of the days of purification, until which time the offering was offered for each one of them. 27 But as the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia[a], having seen him in the temple, were stirring-up the whole crowd. And they put their hands on him, 28 crying-out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man teaching everyone everywhere against our people and the Law and this place. And furthermore, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”.
