Paul explains himself to King Agrippa (Acts 26)

Описание к видео Paul explains himself to King Agrippa (Acts 26)

After Paul for many years had preached the gospel about Jesus and the resurrection outside Israel, he went up to Jerusalem to give a present to his people and to sacrifice (Acts 24:17).
When he was discovered at the temple the Jews attacked him and if not the Roman authorities had intervened, he certainly would have been killed (Acts 21).
Then he was first brought in for the Sanhedrin (Jewish court), but here came the Sadducees and Pharisees in conflict with each other, and the Roman commander had to intervene again to save Paul (Acts 23).
Paul was then transferred to Caesarea, where new interrogations took place after the high priest Ananias, along with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, had also arrived in Caesarea.
They accused Paul before the Roman governor, Felix, and to appease the Jews, Felix imprisoned Paul (Acts 24)
After two years in prison, Paul was brought before Festus, Felix's successor. Paul appealed to the emperor, and Festus acquiesced, intending to send Paul to Rome. A few days later, King Agrippa and his sister Bernice (with whom Agrippa had an incestuous relationship) arrived for a visit. Festus told King Agrippa about Paul's case, admitting that he was at a loss as to how to handle the matter. Agrippa's curiosity was piqued, and he asked to hear what Paul had to say (Acts 25).
The next day, Paul was brought before Festus, Agrippa, Bernice, and other officials gathered in the audience chamber of the palace , where Festus announced that he needed specific charges against Paul before sending him to Emperor Nero. King Agrippa gave Paul leave to speak his mind (Acts 26). Paul spoke boldly, outlining his Roman citizenship, reputation, past history as a Pharisee of the Law, and conversion to Christianity. In the course of his speech he laid out the gospel clearly to all who were gathered.
