Acts Chapter 22
Peter has been captured by King Herod and jailed after James had been killed, Herod planned to have him killed after Passover, with a group of four guards continuously watching him. In the middle of the night, and Angel appeared in the Jail cell and freed Peter. Peter went along with the angel thinking it was a dream, but upon realizing it was real, went to John-Mark’s home.
We also find out the fate of King Herod Agrippa who was not pleased at Peter’s jail break.
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.
While Peter and John were going to the Temple to pray, they meet a man who was lame from birth, panhandling at the Temple gate. While they did not have money, they gave him more than anyone could imagine. We discuss how Peter then uses this moment to declare many truths to unbelieving Jews, using this man, along with Old Testament prophecies, as evidence.
