Temple Truth

Acts 21:26-29 
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.   27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him, 28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” 29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

Paul followed the rules of the Jewish law, but the Jews saw him and his companions in the trample and assumed there were non-Jews who should not be there, and so started a mob.  They accused Paul of teaching against all they held sacred, and defiling the temple (even though the Greek they saw him with in another place in the city was not even there).  How fear and ignorance can turn off the ears to hear and lead to the very unrighteousness of those claiming to fight for it.... we can learn much here.
