Τρόφιμον τὸν Ἐφέσιον, Trophimus the Ephesian. Hence we see that Trophimus had come with the Apostle not only ‘as far as Asia’ (see note on Acts 20:4), but all the way to Jerusalem. His name bespeaks the man a Greek, and, from the anger of these Asiatic Jews, he was doubtless a convert to Christianity without having been a proselyte of Judaism. It is noticeable that so ready were these men to find a cause for attacking St Paul, that they began it on a mere thought, ‘They supposed Paul had brought him into the Temple.’
