Description

The book of Acts ends with Paul arriving at Jerusalem. The Jews cause an uproar, and Paul gets arrested. He speaks to the crowd, and when he said that the gospel was for the Gentiles, the crowd went crazy again. He was placed in the barracks with the Roman leadership until the Sanhedrin brought an official charge against him. Paul spoke to the the Jewish leaders, but a plot to kill Paul was discovered, so he was sent to Caesarea to go on trial before Felix, and he was held for two years in Caesarea. Festus replaced Felix as governor, and during a trial with the Jews, Paul appealed to Caesar. Before leaving, Paul spoke before King Agrippa and almost persuaded him to become a Christian. Paul was taken by ship to Rome, but the ship wrecked onto the Island of Malta. A viper rapped around Paul's arm, but he shook it off into the fire, and the people thought he was a god. The Lord did many miracles through Paul on that island. They set sail again and made it to Rome, where he was on house arrest with a guard to watch him, yet the gospel remained unhindered.
