25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, awe have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from2 sexual immorality.”  

Arrested in the Temple

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, aentered the temple bto 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, athe Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and blaid hands on him,  
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man awho 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 had1 previously seen aTrophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

Acts 21:27

And when the seven days were almost ended - Greek: as the seven days were about to be fulfilled - ̓́ ͂ emellon sunteleisthai . The seven days which were to complete the observance of the vow, Acts 21:26. Perhaps the whole observance in this case was intended to be but seven days, as the time of such a vow was voluntary. The translation, "were almost ended," is not quite correct. The Greek implies no more than that the period of the seven days was about to be accomplished, without implying that it was near the close of them when he was seized. By comparing the following places, Acts 21:18, Acts 21:26; Acts 22:30; Acts 23:12, Acts 23:32; Acts 24:1, Acts 24:11, it appears that the time of his seizure must have been near the beginning of those days (Doddridge).

The Jews which were of Asia - Who resided in Asia Minor, but who had come up to Jerusalem for purposes of worship. Compare the notes on Acts 2.
