PASSAGE: On to Jerusalem, Paul's Arrival at Jerusalem, Paul Arrested, Paul Speaks to the Crowd
NOTES: (v.1-16) Paul went to Tyre, where he met the disciples, and then went to Ptolemais. There, Paul was urged to not go to Jerusalem because of what prophet Agabus said, but Paul asnwered, "I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
-(v.17-26) Paul was received warmly in Jerusalem, and he met with James and the rest of the elders. When they heard of what God had done among the Gentiles, they praised God and told Paul to purify the four men. "then everybody will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law."
-(v.27-36) Some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple, and a whole crowd seized him and took him outside the city gates and tried to kill him. They stopped when the officers and soldiers came, but Paul was arrested and taken into the barracks (although they could not get the truth out, as some were accusing Paul of one thing while others another thing).
ACT OF LOVE: Today, every time someone in my classes asked, "Does anyone have paper?" I gave them a sheet of mine! I purposefully looked for people in need of paper, lol.
