Barnes New Testament Notes

Verse 6. Who also hath gone about. Who has endeavoured.

To profane the temple. This was a serious, but unfounded charge. It arose from the gross calumny of the apostle, when they pretended that he had introduced Greeks into that sacred place, Ac 21:28. To this charge the apostle replies in Ac 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.

{+} "about" "attempted" {b} "profane" Ac 19:37; 21:28 {++} "took" "seized" {c} "according" Joh 18:31
