Exegesis
The perfect verb kekoinōken {κεκοίνωκεν | kekóinōken} ‘has defiled’ conveys a present state of profanation, with ton hagion topon touton {τὸν ἅγιον τόπον τοῦτον | tón hágion tópon toúton} ‘this holy place’ as the rhetorical climax. English rendering preserves the triadic structure, the cumulative ordering, and the escalation from teaching to tangible defilement.
In context — Acts 21:28
They shouted, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against the people, and the law , and this place; and furthermore, he brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”
