As some were talking about the temple complex, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, He said,

During the day, He was teaching in the temple complex, but in the evening He would go out and spend the night on what is called the Mount of Olives.

Then all the people would come early in the morning to hear Him in the temple complex.

For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple complex.
