Acts 23

<p>Our last reading ended with a bit of cliffhanger: Paul has just given his testimony to an angry Jewish mob who became even more enraged when he testified that the Lord had sent him to preach salvation to the Gentiles. A centurion arrested him in order to interrogate him by torture, but Paul reveals he is a Roman citizen. In order to find out more, the centurion instead puts him in front of the Sanhedrin, and our reading picks up as Paul gives them an account. Paul cunningly sees a way out and takes it, and the Sanhedrin begin to fight each other rather than Paul. After this, a group of men make a solemn vow to kill Paul, but Paul’s nephew discovers the plot and takes action.</p><p>:::</p><p>Christian Standard Bible translation.</p><p>All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.</p><p>Co-produced by Aaron Colyer and the Christian Standard Bible</p><p>facebook.com/commuterbible</p><p>instagram.com/commuter_bible</p><p>twitter.com/CommuterPod</p><p>patreon.com/commuterbible</p><p><a href="mailto:admin@commuterbible.org">admin@commuterbible.org</a></p>
