Acts Chapter 15
Some Jews began teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised. Paul and Barnabas challenged them, and ultimately this dispute
was brought before the Church in Jerusalem where the decision was made stating circumcision was not required due to references in the Old Testament, which
presentated by James. Paul, who was in Antioch, spoke with Barnabas regarding meeting with the bretheren in all the cities the ministered in, to see how
they were doing. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them, but Paul said no, so Mark went with Barnabas and Silas went with Paul.

Peter and John were arrested and put into prison by the Priests and Sadducees, along with the temple guard for teaching against their Jewish beliefs. Who were these priests and Sadducees, what did they believe, and what was the Sanhedrin? What happened to Peter and John as an outcome of this arrest? The results are not what they expected, and we will look, in this chapter, what the outcome was to both the Jews and the apostles.

Paul now goes before Felix. Annias, with his attorney Tertullus present their case against Paul to Felix. They presented a weak case, which Paul was pretty much able refute. However, Felix chose not to decide his case, placing him in jail, but with various freedoms in regard to visitations. Felix, along with Drusilla listened to Paul's message for several years before Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus.

Paul now leaves to travel to Macedonia. He spent three months there, and hearing that there was a plot against him, he changed course to go through Macedonia instead of Syria. It was here where he raised the young man from the dead who fell three stories during Paul's teaching. He called the Elders of Ephesus to him and he encouraged them to be strong in the faith, also telling them they may never see him again.
