Saul, however, was ravaging the church. He would enter house after house, drag off men and women, and put them in prison.

Dear friends, don’t be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of the Messiah, so that you may also rejoice with great joy at the revelation of His glory.If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

If then I am doing wrong, or have done anything deserving of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing to what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”After Festus conferred with his council, he replied,“ You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you will go!”

Three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.Then the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews presented their case against Paul to him; and they appealed,

The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul, dragged him out of the temple complex, and at once the gates were shut.As they were trying to kill him, word went up to the commander of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in chaos.

About that time King Herod cruelly attacked some who belonged to the church,and he killed James, John’s brother, with the sword.When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too, during the days of Unleavened Bread.After the arrest, he put him in prison and assigned four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

And the others seized his slaves, treated them outrageously and killed them.

“ I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that today I am going to make a defense before you about everything I am accused of by the Jews,especially since you are an expert in all the Jewish customs and controversies. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.“ All the Jews know my way of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem.They had previously known me for quite some time, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.And now I stand on trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,the promise our 12 tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve Him night and day. King Agrippa, I am being accused by the Jews because of this hope.Why is it considered incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?In fact, I myself supposed it was necessary to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.I actually did this in Jerusalem, and I locked up many of the saints in prison, since I had received authority for that from the chief priests. When they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.In all the synagogues I often tried to make them blaspheme by punishing them. I even pursued them to foreign cities since I was greatly enraged at them.

“ But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins, and you will be flogged in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them.And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations.So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour— say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.Then brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and put them to death.And you will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.

So they seized them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening.But many of those who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about 5,000.The next day, their rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalemwith Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John and Alexander, and all the members of the high-priestly family.After they had Peter and John stand before them, they asked the question:“ By what power or in what name have you done this?”

Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority

“ Then they will hand you over for persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of My name.Then many will take offense, betray one another and hate one another.

Then the high priest took action. He and all his colleagues, those who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.So they arrested the apostles and put them in the city jail.But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail during the night, brought them out, and said,

They will ban you from the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering service to God.They will do these things because they haven’t known the Father or Me.

They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; so they came, dragged him off, and took him to the Sanhedrin.They also presented false witnesses who said,“ This man does not stop speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.For we heard him say that Jesus, this Nazarene, will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”And all who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Then the mob joined in the attack against them, and the chief magistrates stripped off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods.After they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them in jail, ordering the jailer to keep them securely guarded.Receiving such an order, he put them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the jail were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains came loose.

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and persecuted us; they displease God and are hostile to everyone,hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. As a result, they are always completing the number of their sins, and wrath has overtaken them at last.

After they called in the apostles and had them flogged, they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.

“ Look, I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as serpents and as harmless as doves.Because people will hand you over to sanhedrins and flog you in their synagogues, beware of them.You will even be brought before governors and kings because of Me, to bear witness to them and to the nations.But when they hand you over, don’t worry about how or what you should speak. For you will be given what to say at that hour,because you are not speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is speaking through you.“ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will even rise up against their parents and have them put to death.You will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.When they persecute you in one town, escape to another. For I assure you: You will not have covered the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.A disciple is not above his teacher, or a slave above his master.It is enough for a disciple to become like his teacher and a slave like his master. If they called the head of the house‘ Beelzebul,’ how much more the members of his household!

Then they screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him.They threw him out of the city and began to stone him. And the witnesses laid their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.They were stoning Stephen as he called out:“ Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice,“ Lord, do not charge them with this sin!” And saying this, he fell asleep.

This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and hound from town to town.So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.I assure you: All these things will come on this generation!

Then Agrippa said to Festus,“ I would like to hear the man myself.”“ Tomorrow you will hear him,” he replied.So the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium with the commanders and prominent men of the city. When Festus gave the command, Paul was brought in.Then Festus said:“ King Agrippa and all men present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish community has appealed to me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he should not live any longer.Now I realized that he had not done anything deserving of death, but when he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

Remember the word I spoke to you:‘ A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours.

After five days Ananias the high priest came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus. These men presented their case against Paul to the governor.When he was called in, Tertullus began to accuse him and said:“ Since we enjoy great peace because of you, and reforms are taking place for the benefit of this nation by your foresight,we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with utmost gratitude.However, so that I will not burden you any further, I beg you in your graciousness to give us a brief hearing.For we have found this man to be a plague, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the Roman world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes!He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we apprehended him and wanted to judge him according to our law.

The next day, since he wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews, he released him and instructed the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to convene. Then he brought Paul down and placed him before them.

Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him,“ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

Because of this, the wisdom of God said,‘ I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’so that this generation may be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world—from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.“ Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible.

Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will have affliction for 10 days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
