[3640.84 --> 3642.00] he kept Paul |
[3642.00 --> 3642.88] for two years |
[3642.88 --> 3643.38] in prison |
[3643.38 --> 3644.08] is because he was |
[3644.08 --> 3644.84] hoping that Paul |
[3644.84 --> 3645.30] would give him |
[3645.30 --> 3645.80] a bribe. |
[3645.80 --> 3648.50] So for two years |
[3648.50 --> 3649.60] Felix kept him |
[3649.60 --> 3651.00] until Felix |
[3651.00 --> 3651.70] is recalled |
[3651.70 --> 3653.24] and he's replaced |
[3653.24 --> 3654.14] by Festus, |
[3654.70 --> 3655.58] another governor. |
[3656.32 --> 3656.88] Now the Jews |
[3656.88 --> 3658.04] conspire with Festus |
[3658.04 --> 3658.84] to transfer Paul |
[3658.84 --> 3659.68] back to Jerusalem |
[3659.68 --> 3661.08] because they have |
[3661.08 --> 3662.32] a plot to kill him |
[3662.32 --> 3663.34] while on the way. |
[3664.10 --> 3665.12] And it's at this point |
[3665.12 --> 3666.06] that Paul again |
[3666.06 --> 3667.78] appeals to Caesar. |
[3668.82 --> 3669.76] Caesar is the title |
[3669.76 --> 3670.30] of the emperor |
[3670.30 --> 3670.80] in Rome. |
[3671.04 --> 3671.70] At this time |
[3671.70 --> 3672.48] it would have been Nero. |
[3672.48 --> 3674.32] because of Paul's |
[3674.32 --> 3674.84] citizenship, |
[3675.44 --> 3676.78] Festus has no choice |
[3676.78 --> 3677.82] but to agree. |
[3678.14 --> 3678.64] And he says |
[3678.64 --> 3679.40] in Acts 25, |
[3679.68 --> 3680.42] you have appealed |
[3680.42 --> 3681.02] to Caesar, |
[3681.60 --> 3682.70] to Caesar you will go. |
[3684.68 --> 3685.36] And so while he's |
[3685.36 --> 3686.16] waiting to go |
[3686.16 --> 3687.16] before he can go |
[3687.16 --> 3687.96] to Caesar, |
[3688.22 --> 3689.30] Festus invites |
[3689.30 --> 3690.26] King Agrippa. |
[3691.12 --> 3693.26] This is Agrippa II |
[3693.26 --> 3694.46] who's the great |
[3694.46 --> 3696.14] grandson of Herod the Great. |
[3696.28 --> 3697.40] If you know |
[3697.40 --> 3698.00] the story |
[3698.00 --> 3698.82] of the birth |
[3698.82 --> 3699.38] of Jesus, |
[3699.56 --> 3700.28] Herod the Great |
[3700.28 --> 3701.02] is the one |
[3701.02 --> 3701.64] who was ruling |
[3701.64 --> 3702.20] at the time |
[3702.20 --> 3703.36] of Jesus' birth. |
[3704.22 --> 3704.98] Agrippa II |
[3704.98 --> 3706.28] was only a boy |
[3706.28 --> 3707.24] when his father, |
[3707.48 --> 3708.74] Agrippa I, |
[3709.26 --> 3709.88] died. |
[3710.50 --> 3712.04] And so because of that |
[3712.04 --> 3713.20] the Romans divided |
[3713.20 --> 3714.58] his rule |
[3714.58 --> 3715.80] up under these governors. |
[3715.98 --> 3716.58] That's why we have |
[3716.58 --> 3717.54] Felix and Festus |
[3717.54 --> 3718.24] in this story. |
[3718.82 --> 3720.56] But as Agrippa grew older |
[3720.56 --> 3721.76] he managed to get |
[3721.76 --> 3722.62] more and more |
[3722.62 --> 3724.18] rule and authority |
[3724.18 --> 3725.98] back from Rome |
[3725.98 --> 3727.72] though never Judea proper, |
[3728.24 --> 3729.68] rather regions to the north. |
[3730.34 --> 3731.50] But he does manage |
[3731.50 --> 3732.72] this place of influence |
[3732.72 --> 3733.58] with them. |
[3734.92 --> 3735.56] Now Paul |
[3735.56 --> 3736.42] is given a chance |
[3736.42 --> 3737.00] to preach |
[3737.00 --> 3737.76] to Festus |
[3737.76 --> 3738.60] and to Agrippa |
[3738.60 --> 3740.04] and Bernice. |
[3740.22 --> 3741.36] Bernice is Agrippa's |
[3741.36 --> 3741.92] sister |
[3741.92 --> 3743.66] and also |
[3743.66 --> 3744.78] his rumored |
[3744.78 --> 3745.50] consort. |
[3747.28 --> 3748.54] But Paul preaches |
[3748.54 --> 3749.54] to this group |
[3749.54 --> 3750.48] along with a number |
[3750.48 --> 3751.24] of other leaders |
[3751.24 --> 3752.62] from the Sanhedrin. |
[3753.36 --> 3754.00] Now honestly |
[3754.00 --> 3755.96] these chapters |
[3755.96 --> 3757.28] from 23 to 27 |
[3757.28 --> 3758.68] are an amazing read |
[3758.68 --> 3759.66] and if you're looking |
[3759.66 --> 3760.48] for some devotional |
