    Acts 24:1–9

    Paul Before Felix at Caesarea

    [1] And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertullus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul. [2] And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:

    “Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight, most excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation, [3] in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. [4] But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. [5] For we have found this man a plague, one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. [6] He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him. [8] By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.”

    [9] The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so. (ESV)

    Hope Church continues our new series of Podcasts "Hope in the Word". Today we look at ACTS 23:12-35and people share what they learn from this passage and their experiences. Faith prays and Bob reads the passage for us. 12 When it was day, uthe Jews made a plot and vboundthemselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killedPaul. 13 There were more than forty who made this conspiracy.14 They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We havestrictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we havekilled Paul. 15 Now therefore you, along with the council, givenotice to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you weregoing to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to killhim before he comes near.” 16 Now the son of Paul’s sister heard of their ambush, so he wentand entered wthe barracks and told Paul. 17 Paul called one of thecenturions and said, “Take this young man to the tribune, for hehas something to tell him.” 18 So he took him and brought him tothe tribune and said, “Paul xthe prisoner called me and asked me tobring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.”19 The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked himprivately, “What is it that you have to tell me?” 20 And he said,y“The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to thecouncil tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhatmore closely about him. 21 But do not be persuaded by them, formore than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him, whozhave bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink tillthey have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for yourconsent.” 22 So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him,“Tell no one that you have informed me of these things.” Paul Sent to Felix the Governor 23 Then he called two of the centurions and said, “Get ready twohundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundredspearmen to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of the night.124 Also provide mounts for Paul to ride and bring him safely toaFelix bthe governor.” 25 And he wrote a letter to this effect: 26 “Claudius Lysias, to chis Excellency the governor Felix,dgreetings. 27 eThis man was seized by the Jews and fwas about tobe killed by them fwhen I came upon them with the soldiers andrescued him, ghaving learned that he was a Roman citizen. 28 Andhdesiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, Ibrought him down to their council. 29 I found that he was beingaccused iabout questions of their law, but jcharged with nothingdeserving death or imprisonment. 30 kAnd when it was disclosed tome lthat there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you atonce, mordering his accusers also to state before you what theyhave against him.” 31 So the soldiers, according to their instructions, took Paul andbrought him by night to Antipatris. 32 And on the next day theyreturned to nthe barracks, letting the horsemen go on with him.33 When they had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to thegovernor, they presented Paul also before him. 34 On reading theletter, he asked what oprovince he was from. And when he learnedpthat he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will give you a hearingqwhen your accusers arrive.” And he commanded him to beguarded in Herod’s rpraetorium.

    Hope in The Word Acts 23:1-11
    Nov 20 2024

    Hope Church continues our new series of Podcasts "Hope in the Word". Today we look at ACTS 23:1-11 and people share what they learn from this passage and their experiences. David prays and Faith reads the passage for us.

    Acts 23:1–11

    [1] And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.” [2] And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. [3] Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?” [4] Those who stood by said, “Would you revile God’s high priest?” [5] And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”

    [6] Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.” [7] And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. [8] For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. [9] Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?” [10] And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.

    [11] The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.” (ESV)
