Acts

21:13, Paul refers to "the Lord Jesus."

V 30, in Jerusalem, because Paul is recognized and believed to preach heterodoxy, there are riots all over the city.

Another way of saying the Jews of that time were as fucked in the head as today's Muslims.

22:24-29. The commander questioning Paul says he is a Roman citizen and it "cost plenty"  (v 28a).

Paul says he is a citizen "by birth" (28b).

Chapter 23, the Jews concoct an amazing plot to kill Paul.

Paul is held in custody by Felix, a Roman authority, for two years (24:27), who leaves him in jail when he is replaced by Festus.

25:11, Paul appeals from Festus to Caesar, the emperor.

By faith alone?

Yes and no.

26:20b Paul says he teaches "that all must repent of their sins and turn to God - and prove they have changed by the good things they do."

Forgiveness is for past sins.

If you sin no more, you are fine.

If you sin again you must ask forgiveness again.

You will have it.

Jesus in the gospels teaches there is no limit to how many times you can be forgiven, if you just ask.

Agrippa says Paul "could have been set free if he hadn't appealed to Caesar." (26:32)

Ch 28. Paul, en route by sea to Rome, is shipwrecked on Malta.

The last words of the chapter and book have Paul reminding us the Jews rejected the message but the Gentiles accepted it.
