Acts
21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days, who said to
Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Acts
21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went
our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till
we were out of the city; and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Acts
21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and
came unto Caesarea. And we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist,
which was one of the seven and abode with him.
Acts
21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Acts
21:10,11 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea
a certain prophet, named Agabus...And when he was come unto us, he took
Paul's girdle and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the
Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this
girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Acts
21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto
him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe;
and they are all zealous of the law..(these
new converts had yet to come to the understanding that the Old Testament
Mosaic Law that was their trust and tradition for thousands of years before
was now defunct)
Acts
21:21 And they are informed of you.(Paul
- who was he?), that you teach all
the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they
ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Acts
21:23-26 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men which
have a vow on them;...Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at
charges with them, that they may shave their heads. And all may know that
those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing;
but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law...As touching
the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe
no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered
to idols and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication...Then
Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered
into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification,
until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Acts
21:27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were
of Asia, when they saw him.(Paul
- who was he?).in
the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
Acts
21:28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help. This is the man, that teaches
all men every where against the people, and the
law, and this place; and further brought Greeks also into the temple.(they
knew nothing of love, and figured that these Greeks, these Gentiles, by
their presence in the temple that was heretofore only for those that considered
themselves God's people, had defiled the temple; such is religion!
See also verse 21 above), and has polluted this holy place.
Acts
22:1 Men, brethren and fathers, hear you my defence which I make now
unto you.
Acts
22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia,
yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,
and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and
was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Acts

into prisons both men and women.

of the elders; from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and

Acts
22:6,7 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great
light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying
unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acts
22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am
Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Acts
22:9,10 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid;
but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. And I said, What
shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus;
and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee
to do.
Acts
22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem,
even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
Acts
22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste and get thee quickly out
of Jerusalem for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Acts
22:19,20 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in
every synagogue them that believed on thee. And when the blood of thy martyr

and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

the Gentiles.

23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and
the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am
a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; of the hope and resurrection of the
dead I am called in question.
Acts
23:7-9 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided...For the Sadducees
say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees
confess both...And there arose a great cry. And the scribes that were of
the Pharisees' part arose and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man;
but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against
God.
Acts
23:16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he
went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Acts
23:21 But do not thou yield unto them. For there lie in wait for him
of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath,
that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now
are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.

void of offence toward God, and toward men.

which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith
in Christ...And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment
to come, Felix trembled and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I
have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

in the way to kill him.
