"And it came about when. returned to Jerusalem" Remember, Paul was converted in Damascus, and then some years later returned to Jerusalem (Acts 9:26; Galatians 1:17). "And was praying in the temple" Please note that Paul specifically mentions that he was praying in the temple. Paul did not speak against the temple, he did not teach that the temple was. bad place, rather he knew that as. Christian he could pray anyplace, including in the temple area. He could still pray there, it was that now the temple was no longer the exclusive place of prayer (John 4:23). "That. fell into. trance" "Paul's mention of. trance coming upon him (he didn't seek it or attempt to artificially induce it), verse 17, would have signified to the hearers that this was. revelation from on high, and one therefore that should be heeded" (Reese p. 808).
