Contextual Overview
10 Then the governor beckoned to Paul to speak. Paul answered and said, For in as much as I know that you have been a judge for many years to this people, therefore I do the more cheerfully answer in my own defense: 11 So that you may understand, that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, nor have I had an assembly either in their synagogues or in the city: 13 Nor can they prove before you the things of which they accuse me. 14 But this I confess, that in that very teaching which they mention, I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15 And I have the same hope in God which they themselves hold, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16 For this reason, I labor to have always a clear conscience before God and before men. 17 Now after many years, I came to my own people to distribute alms and to present an offering. 18 So these men found me purifying myself in the temple, not in a crowd, nor in a riot, except the riot which was caused by the Jews who had come from Asia Minor, 19 Who ought to have been here with me before you, to make whatever accusations they have against me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whereupon,.... Or "among which"; while the apostle was busy about the offerings of the Nazarites:
certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple; and therefore could not be said to profane it; this he observes in answer to the charge of his attempting to profane it, and acquaints the governor how that was; as that having joined himself to four men that had a vow upon them, and being in the temple purifying himself with them, certain Jews that came from Ephesus, in Asia, who knew him there, and had a pique against him, found him here; not profaning the temple, as they pretended, but acting according to the worship and service of it; and that,
neither with a multitude; for there were but four men with him;
nor with tumult; making any noise and riot, or stirring up persons to sedition and rebellion.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Certain Jews from Asia - Acts 21:27.
Found me purified in the temple - Acts 21:26-27. They found me engaged in the sacred service of completing the observance of my vow.
Neither with multitude - Not having introduced a multitude with me - in a quiet and peaceful manner.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 24:18. Found me purified in the temple — And the Jews of Asia, who stirred up the persecution against me in Jerusalem, found me purified in the temple, regularly performing the religious vow into which I had entered; giving no cause for suspicion; for I made no tumult, nor had I any number of people with me, by whom I could have accomplished any seditious purpose.
