Acts 21:28

"Men of Israel, come to our aid" The inference is that all men of Israel need to unite against this invader. "This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people" Compare to the accusations made against Stephen (Acts 6:11). Anyone who has read Romans 9:1 can see that this accusation is false. Paul dearly loved the nation of Israel. "And the Law" Paul did not preach against the Law, rather he gave the Law its proper glory and place in God's plan (Galatians 3:19 ff; Romans 7:12). "Besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place" That is, the charge is that Paul had actually brought Gentiles into the temple area that was reserved for Jews. "Around the court of Israel was. wall beyond which Gentiles (even proselytes) were not to go" (Reese p. 801). Inscriptions were posted which declared that any non-Jewish person who entered this court would be put to death if caught. Josephus claims that even though the Romans had taken away from the Jews the right to exercise the death penalty, violation of the temple was one area where they permitted the death sentence even when it was passed against. Roman citizen (Josephus, Wars, VI.2.4). "Has defiled" Of course, what really had defiled the temple was the fact that so many in the Jewish nation had rejected Jesus.
