Description

The Bible Study recounts Paul's arrest in Jerusalem following accusations of disrupting Jewish customs and bringing a Gentile into the temple, highlighting the escalating tensions between Paul and Jewish leaders. After a near-fatal mob attack, Roman authorities intervene, and Paul defends himself, asserting his Jewish heritage and zealous devotion to God before the Sanhedrin. Recognizing the division between Sadducees and Pharisees, Paul appeals to the shared belief with the Pharisees in resurrection, before the meeting devolves into further conflict. Ultimately, fearing for Paul's life, the Roman governor orchestrates a covert operation to transport him to Caesarea, where he awaits trial, demonstrating divine providence and foreshadowing Paul's eventual journey to Rome.
