Looking for Paul

[JLG]

1) - Acts one

- After his death Jesus appeared many times to the disciples for a period of 40 days!

- And he kept speaking about the Kingdom of God!

- And he told them to stay in Jerusalem to be baptized with holy spirit!

- And they would spread the good news of the Kingdom all around the world!

- When he was telling them these things he was lifted up and he disappeared in a cloud!

- Then two men in white appeared to them and told them that they would see Jesus appearing as he left them!

- And the apostles were together with disciples for a total of 120 people!

- And Peter spoke in front on all saying that it was necessary for the scripture to be fulfilled!

- They had to choose a disciple who had been with Jesus and the apostles from the beginning to replace Judas!

- And Matthias was chosen!

 

[JLG]

2) Acts 2

- All together at the same place

- A noise from heaven filling the whole house

- Tongues as if of fire visible to them and distributed

- One tongue on each one of them

- All are filled with holy spirit and they start to speak in different languages

- Jews from every nation were staying in Jerusalem because there was the Festival of Pentecost

and they could hear them speaking in his own language about the magnificent things of God.

And Peter with the Eleven explained to the people that they were not drunk. And they spoke

about Jesus and all he did and about his resurrection. And they told the Jews to repent and get

baptized so they could receive the free gift of the holy spirit. And 3,000 people were added that

day. And all had everything in common and they were selling their possessions and properties

and distributing the proceeds to all.

So they received holy spirit and they could speak in languages for other people to be taught

about Jesus and God’s Kingdom. And they didn’t need translators and they could understand

what was said! It was no comedy!

 

[JLG]

3) Acts 3

- Peter and John cure a lame man at the entrance of the temple and they tell the people about

Jesus resurrected and the necessity to believe in him to be saved.

Acts 4

Of course, the priests, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees are annoyed because the

apostles teach the people about the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. So they seize them and

take them into custody. But 5,000 people had listened to them and they become Christians.

When Peter and John speak in front of the rulers of people and elders, they say they cure the

crippled man in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the one they executed but he was

raised up from the dead by God. And Jesus is the only way to salvation. And the rulers could

not deny that the crippled man was cured. So they threaten Peter and John not to teach on the

basis of the name of Jesus. But Peter and John refuse not to do it. So they ask God to

strengthen them to keep speaking his word with boldness. And they are filled with holy spirit.

And all the Christians keep having everything in common. So people sell what they have and

share everything.

And Joseph, a Levite sells a piece of land and brings the money at the feet of the apostles.

 

[JLG]

4) Acts 5

- Ananias and his wife Sapphira sell some property.

- But they secretly held back some of the price.

- So they lie and as a consequence they both die.

- The sick are brought to the apostles and they cure them.

- But the high priest and the Sadducees are jealous and they put them into prison.

- During the night, God’s angel frees them and tells them to go to the temple and teach.

- They are brought in front of the Sanhedrin.

- Gamaliel, a Pharisee tells the Sanhedrin to be careful about the apostles because if they do

God’s work they may be fighting against God himself.

- So they flog the apostles and order them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’ name and let

them go.

- And the apostles keep going to the temple and from house to house teaching.

 

[JLG]

5) Acts 6

A problem appears between the disciples, between the Greek-speaking Jews and the Hebrew-

speaking Jews because the widows of the Hebrew-speaking Jews are privileged in the daily

distribution. So the apostles propose to select seven reputable men to be responsible for the

distribution. And more and more disciples are added. And Stephen performs many miracles and

some men become jealous of him so they persuade people against Stephen accusing him of

blasphemy. And they take him to the Sanhedrin. And his face is like an angel’s face.

 

[JLG]

6) Acts 7

Stephen tells about the history of Abraham and the promise God made him to give the

land to his descendants. But before that they would be foreigners and slaves for 400 years.

Then he speaks about the covenant of circumcision God made with Abraham and about

Isaac and Jacob and Joseph and the famine in Egypt and Jacob and his family went to

Egypt and Moses who freed the Israelites from Egypt and about the golden calf and the

40 years in the wilderness and about David and Solomon who built God’s temple and

about the sins of the Israelites. So the Jews become angry and they kill him by stoning

him. And the end of the chapter says that Stephen fell asleep in death or he was put to

repose.

[JLG]

7) Acts 8

Saul approves Stephen’s murder and a great persecution arises against the Christians in

Jerusalem who are scattered in Judea and Samaria except the apostles. And Saul organizes

the persecution putting men and women to prison. And Philip goes to the city of Samaria

to preach the Christ to them. And he cures many people. In the city there is a man called

Simon who practices magical arts and many think he gets his power from God. And he

becomes a believer and gets baptized and follows Philip. The apostles send Peter and

John to Samaria so the new Christians can get holy spirit by laying their hands on them.

And Simon wants to get the same power so he offers money. Peter tells him to repent and

be forgiven. So Simon asks Peter for making supplication for him. Then God’s angel sends

Philip to the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza where he meets an Ethiopian

eunuch who has authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He came to Jerusalem

to worship. He reads aloud the prophet Isaiah but he doesn’t understand what he reads.

So Philip explains to him about Jesus. And Philip baptizes him.

 

[JLG]

8) Acts 9

So Saul keeps fighting the Way that is the Christians. As he goes to Damascus, he sees

a light and a voice asks him why he persecutes him and tells him he is Jesus. So Jesus

tells him to go to the city and he will be told what to do. Then Saul realizes he is blind.

And Jesus tells a disciple called Ananias in a vision to look for a man named Saul from

Tarsus and lay his hands on him so he can see again. But Ananias doesn’t understand

because he knows that Saul persecutes the Christians. But Jesus says that Saul has been

chosen to represent him in different parts of the world. So Ananias does according to

what Jesus told him to do. And Saul can see again and he is baptized. And then he goes

to the synagogues and preach about Jesus. And people are astonished because they know

he used to persecute the Christians and now he is one of them. So the Jews want to kill

him because he works against them. So some disciples help Saul to leave Damascus by

night. When he arrives in Jerusalem he tries to join the disciples but they are afraid of

him and they don’t believe he has become a disciple. So Barnabas leads him to the

apostles and he explains to them what happened to him as he was going to Damascus.

So he preaches about Jesus in Jerusalem and the Jews want to get rid of him so the

disciples send him to Caesarea. The situation improves for the Christians in Judea and

Galilee and Samaria and they keep multiplying. At the same time, Peter travels to Lydda

and he finds a paralyzed man who had been so for 8 years. And he cures him. So many

become Christians. In Joppa a woman and a Christian called Dorcas dies. As Joppa is

close to Lydda, the disciples ask Peter to come and resurrect her because she abounded

in good deeds. And Peter resurrects her and many people become believers.

 

[JLG]

9) Acts 10

Cornelius is a Roman army officer who fears God and he has a vision. God tells him to

send soldiers to get Simon Peter in Joppa. At the same time, Peter gets a vision and he

sees all sorts of animals and he is told to eat them but Peter says he can’t because they

are unclean. Then cornelius’ men arrive and want to speak to him. And the spirit in the

vision tells Peter about the three men who are asking for him and he tells him to follow

them because he has sent them. So they go back to Caesarea. So the time has come for

the apostles and the disciples to preach to the non Jews. So Peter starts speaking about

how God sent Jesus among the Jews and all the things he did. And the holy spirit starts

spreading upon all the people present in the room. And they start speaking in foreign

languages and magnifying God. And he baptizes all the people who are present.

So the time has come for the apostles and the disciples to look for faithful servants

among the non Jews. A great time for them indeed! In fact, like everywhere in the Bible,

like in the creation, God follows a precise timing or program which is always difficult

for human beings to understand. This is the same story for the end of this human society

and it will be a great surprise when it happens like all the big events in the Bible even

when people are told because they have eyes and ears but they can’t see and they can’t

hear. Well, in fact they don’t want! It’s always the same with humankind, people have a

brain but they don’t want to use it!

 

[JLG]

10) Acts 11

When Peter comes back to Jerusalem, the supporters of circumcision criticize him.

So he explains to them all the details and they stop objecting. Then some Christians

keep speaking to the Jews and others start talking to the Greek-speaking people and

many more people become Christians. And Barnabas is sent by the congregation in

Jerusalem as far as Antioch and more people become Christians. He goes for Paul in

Tarsus and he brings him to Antioch. Then for a whole year they assemble in the

congregation and there the disciples are called Christians for the first time.

- Here we see how difficult it is to accept changes!

- And time is necessary to adapt!

- Everybody is different and needs time according to that difference!

- Human differences are also difficult to accept or to understand!

- A lot to think about!

 

[JLG]

11) Acts 12

Herod the king begins mistreating some members of the

congregation. He puts James the brother of John to death by

the sword. As it pleases the Jews, he also arrests Peter. So the

congregation is intensely praying to God for him. Herod is

going to bring him out but God sends one of his angel to free

him. Peter thinks he is seeing a vision. Then he goes to the

house of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark. And

the people in the house can’t believe it. So Peter tells them

what has just happened. Later Herod speaks in front of an

audience and they say “a god’s voice, and not a man’s!”

Instantly God’s angel strikes him because he did not give the

glory to God, and he is eaten up with worms and dies.

- Well, apparently he is finally punished for his bad deeds!

- He has an appropriate end according to his deeds!

- Barnabas and Saul, after fully carrying out the relief work

in Jerusalem, return and take along with them John also

called Mark.

- They are quite a good team working together for God!

 

[JLG]

12) Acts 13

Barnabas and Saul are selected by the holy spirit. Then they

go to Cyprus and they proclaim God’s word in the

synagogues of the Jews. They go through the whole island.

There they meet a Jewish man named Bar-Jesus, a sorcerer

and a false prophet. He is with the proconsul Sergius Paulus,

an intelligent man and he wants to hear God’s word so he

calls Barnabas and Saul. But Bar-Jesus also called Elymas

opposes them. Then, Saul, filled with holy spirit, looks at

him intensely and he speaks against him and because he

opposes God, he will be blind which happens instantly. And

the proconsul becomes a believer being astounded at God’s

teaching. Then Paul and his companions go on from Perga

and come to Antioch in Pisidia. They go to the synagogue on

the Sabbath day. Then Paul speaks to the people and he

speaks about Israel’s history from Egypt to the wilderness

and to the land of Canaan (for about 450 years). Then he tells

about judges until Samuel the prophet and the King Saul for

40 years and the king David and finally the Jesus the savior.

Before Jesus comes, John the Baptist invites people to get

baptize in symbol of repentance. And Paul says that he and

his companions has telling about this word of salvation.

Jesus has to die before being resurrected. Then Paul and his

companions are invited to come back the next Sabbath and

speak again about their message. But the Jews meaning the

religious leaders are jealous and they begin blasphemously

contradicting Paul. Thus he tells them that because they

reject God’s word, the time has come for them to turn to the

nations. So the people of the nations begin to rejoice and

many become believers. Then the Jews oppose Paul and

Barnabas inciting the prominent women who are God-

fearing and the principal men of the city against them. So

they go to Iconium.

- There we get an important event: Paul and Barnabas are

going to turn to the nations to teach them God’s word!

- As usual, the Jews or religious leaders oppose them because

they are jealous!

- PERSONAL INTERESTS NOT PEOPLE INTERESTS!
