Acts Chapter 23
Paul is now presenting his case before the High Priest Ananias. He presents a case which put at odds the Pharisees and the Sadducee's, which caused dissention between the two groups, which caused a plot to kill Paul. Because of this, Paul was placed in a jail that neither group had access to, and eventually sent Paul to Felix. the governor.
Paul now presents his case before King Agrippa. But what he states has more to do with the gospel and its importance rather than his own case. He speaks of his conversion to Christianity, especially regarding the appearance of Jesus. After Paul is finished, Agrippa states he sees no crime regarding Paul, but because Paul appealed to Caesar, he could not free him, and therefore sent him to Rome.
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.
