23) Acts 24
The high priest Ananias with some elders and a public
speaker Tertullus present their case against Paul to the
governor Felix. The Jews also join in the attack. Then Paul
answers. So he tells he hasn’t done anything wrong. Felix
wants the military commander to come before taking a
decision. So Paul is under arrest but given some freedom
and his people are allowed to attend to his needs. Some
days later, Felix come with his wife Drusilla who is Jewish
to listen to Paul about Jesus. But hearing Paul, Felix becomes
frightened and stop the discussion. Then he speaks with Paul
from time to time, hoping that he will give him money. But
after two years Felix is succeeded by Porcius Festus and
he leaves Paul in custody to gain favor with the Jews.
- Well, we hear about corruption and human justice!
- Paul as usual defends his faith!
- But he stays in custody for two years having done
nothing wrong!
- The Jews are corrupted!
- The Romans are corrupted!
- In time, they would pay for it as their world would
be completely destroyed!
- It takes time but you get what you deserve!
- Let’s use the time left to prepare ourselves for what
comes next!
- It’s always better to be prepared for what’s next even
if it is unimaginable!
- But who could have imagined what we live today!
- We need to see things happened to realize it!
