For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple Acts 21:29
The mob of Jews were after the apostle Paul. As he elevated Christ, they felt he was against them, their law, and their temple. They even accused Paul of defiling the temple by bringing in a Gentile. Look! It says they supposed, they assumed, they concluded, that his association brought, evil even though no one knew anything for sure. How quick many are to judge. Is there guilt by supposed association? The self-righteous accused Jesus of the same thing when He would eat with sinners. They assumed, and they were wrong. In our daily walk, may we put judgment on the back shelf, and allow mercy to lead the way. Would we rather be a small town judge, or an intern for the Great Physician? Choose the grace and choose the healing.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
