<p>24:6 <em>Who moreover tried to profane the temple. We laid hold on him, and we would have judged him according to our law</em>- Profaning the temple was a capital offence; the Jews could ask the Romans to apply the death penalty for such cases. The Jews had raised riot against Paul by claiming that he had actually profaned the temple by bringing Gentiles into it. He had not done so; and now they reduce the charge to claiming that he had attempted to do so.</p>
