ExplanationCommentary
Verse 30. The doors were shut, lest the temple should be profaned by Gentiles entering into it. Witham.—The temple was an asylum, but not for those men who were justly pursued. Hence the Jews looking upon Paul as a blasphemer, they did not think they violated this asylum by forcibly removing Paul from the temple; but lest he might return, they fastened the entrance-gates.
