27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, 28 shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.” 29 (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
Their bad behavior and ill intentions were part of the plans of a sovereign God. through Paul’s captivity, trials, and testimony, God and His Son were going to be glorified and shared through Paul’s words. We focus on minutia and look for fairness or justification in every action. We lose focus that God is in control and He has His plans and purposes that will be done in the earth.
