Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 323: Paul's Arrest

Good morning, everyone!

Today I read Acts 21-23.

And to be honest, I didn't understand everything that was going on.

Paul continued on his travels, teaching and preaching, and then a man told him he would be bound if he went to Jerusalem, but he had to go, so he went and preached. Then, the priests and elders had him arrested.

He spoke to the people in Hebrew, declaring himself to be a Jew of Tarsus, and they went silent until he started criticizing them. Then they cried out for him to be taken away.

The Romans were going to scourge him, but he declared himself to be Roman, and they could not, and were afraid because they had arrested him.

This was a little confusing to me, but I think if I study it, it would make more sense.

It's possible he just didn't want to be scourged. Understandably.

At the end of these chapters, he was awaiting trial.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Acts 24-26.
