Contextual Overview
10 Then Paul, after the governor had made a sign to him to speak, answered, Knowing thou hast been for several years a judge to this nation, I the more chearfully answer for myself: 11 As thou mayst know, that it is but twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. 12 And they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple, nor making an insurrection among the people, either in the synagogues or in the city. 13 Nor can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, 14 that after the way, which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15 Having hope in God, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust, which they themselves also expect. 16 And for this cause do I exercise myself to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward man. 17 Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings. 18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purifying in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult: 19 Who ought to have been present before thee, and to accuse me, if they had any thing 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.
