Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αἱ ἑπτὰ ἡμέραι
the seven days
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he means the seven days that were customarily required for the offerings and purification ceremony at the end of a vow. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the seven days that it took to purify these men”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀσίας Ἰουδαῖοι
the from ¬the Asia Jews
Luke implicitly means some Jews from Asia who had come to Jerusalem for the Pentecost festival, as described in 20:16. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “some Jews from Asia who had come to Jerusalem for the Pentecost festival”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ
in the temple
Only priests were allowed inside the temple building, so when Luke says the temple here, he means the courtyard associated with the temple. Alternate translation: “the temple courtyard”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
συνέχεον πάντα τὸν ὄχλον
/were/_confounding all the crowd
Luke says whole here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “were making many people in the crowd very agitated”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν ὄχλον
the crowd
By the crowd, Luke implicitly means the crowd of people who had come to Jerusalem from all over the Roman Empire for the Pentecost festival. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the whole crowd of people who had come to Jerusalem for the Pentecost festival”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπέβαλον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας
˱they˲_laid_on on him their hands
The expression laid hands on means to arrest or detain someone, by association with the way that arresting officers or concerned citizens might physically take hold of a person with their hands. Alternate translation: “they held onto him” or “they detained him”
21:26-36 The concerns of the Christian leaders (21:20-25) were evidently well based, for when their vows were almost completed, some Jews from the province of Asia raised a mob against Paul with false charges. They were intent on killing Paul, but the Roman commander rescued him.
