Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
Note 1 at Ac 21:28: The Old Testament forbade any Gentile from entering the tabernacle, and later the temple, upon penalty of death (Nu 1:51). The first-century historian Josephus wrote that on the wall separating the court of the Gentiles from the holy place was written in Greek and Latin that "no foreigner should go within that sanctuary" (The Wars of the Jews, Book 5, Chapter 5, Section 2).
