In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was ruler over Galilee; his brother Philip was ruler over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene.

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.

One of them named Agabus stood up in one of the meetings and predicted by the Spirit that a great famine was coming upon the entire Roman world.( This was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius.)

Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.

But Paul appealed to have his case decided by the emperor. So I ordered that he be held in custody until I could arrange to send him to Caesar.”

And all the rest of God’s people send you greetings, too, especially those in Caesar’s household.

And then he told them,“ Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

If I have done something worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die. But if I am innocent, no one has a right to turn me over to these men to kill me. I appeal to Caesar!”

Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
