Paul in Jerusalem
His friends had warned him not to come.
The Holy Spirit told him to go, but also told him he would suffer.
And now he is here.
Met with James (Brother of Jesus) and the elders of the church.
Tells them what God had done with the Gentiles.
Solution:
Four men under a vow (Nazarite) Go with them and purify yourself in the Temple (7 days) pay their expenses.
Dog and Pony show
It’s not being fake.
I can wear a t-shirt and preach to bikers,
I can wear a suit, preach in a traditional Church,
I can be a cop to preach to other cops,
I can play a round of Golf and preach Christ.
Paul performs this very Jewish ritual for the sake to the Jewish- Christians.
But before he is done.
He is seen by some Jews from Asia.
They stir up the people.
Paul was drug out of the temple and were about to kill him.
Roman Cohort
When the Jews saw the Romans coming, they quit beating Paul.
Romans take Paul to the barracks to figure out what’s going on.
Paul asks to address the people.
He addresses the crowd in Hebrew.
Which quits them down.
He tells his story.
He was a Jew from Tarsus, educated in the way of the Pharisees in Jerusalem, persecuted the followers of Jesus, zealous for God.
Started tracking down the people of the Way to Damascus, His encounter with Jesus, Blinded, healed, baptized.
Then he told them that Jesus directed him to “Go!
For I will send you far away to the Gentiles”
HE LOST THE CROWD
Romans pull Paul out of there and their intent is to “Examine” him.
They are going to torture him until he tells them what he has done to so stir up the crowds.
Paul: “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?”
Paul before the council
Pharisees and Sadducees: Paul jedi mind tricked them.
“I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead”
Pharisees believed in angels, spirit of God, and the resurrection of the dead, the Sadducees did not.
Again the Roman Commander pulls Paul out.
Plot to Kill Paul
+40 people took a vow to kill Paul, They were going to have the Council call for Paul to be brought before them again, and they were going to kill him in route.
Paul’s sisters son gets wind of the plot, tells Paul and Paul sends him to the Commander.
Romans take 200 soldiers and take him to Caesarea to stand before Felix (Governor)
Paul before Felix
High Priest Ananias & crew come to accuse Paul.
Paul makes his defense.
Paul discussed righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became afraid.
Sent Paul away, didn’t condemn him, but didn’t release him.
Kept Paul in “jail” for two years.
Felix retires
Replaced by Festus
The High Priest go to Festus requesting that Paul be brought back to Jerusalem to stand trial, while setting an ambush to kill him.
Festus asks Paul if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem to be tried, and Paul said, I am a Roman standing before Caesar’s tribunal, so this is where I ought to be tried.
(appeal to Caesar, which would take him to Rome)
Rub If Festus sent Paul before Caesar, and it is seen as frivolous, Festus will lose face.
So King Agrippa comes to Caesarea and Uncle Festus lays it out to him.
Felix left me this baggage, the Jews want him killed, but he’s a Roman citizen and a Jew and appealed to the Emperor.
Agrippa said he wanted to hear from Paul.
Paul before Agrippa
Paul lays out his story again.
John the Baptist message.
James
Don’t tell people what you believe, show them.
