1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Let us pray, then, said Paul, unto him, God shall

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: smite thee thou wit at wall, for sittest thou to

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: judge me after the law and commandest me to be

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: smitten contrary to the Law Acts twenty three three. Heavenly Father,

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: when deceitful people plot against me to hinder and derail

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: the purposes of my life, Like Paul in to day's reading,

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: I thank you that you have a special messenger that

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: will relay the plans of the enemy to those who

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: can shift and redirect my steps to safety. Move on

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: my behalf to day and direct my life to the

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: place of safety, surrounded by men and women who are

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: dedicated to helping me get to the final destination in

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: my life. I declare that no plan of the enemy

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: will thwart thee eternal plans of God. I declare that

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: even in the midst of hatred and violence, you will

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: preserve me because you have purposed me to do great

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: things on your behalf Jesus. Therefore, I will not be

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: moved by the shouts and words of others. I will

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: not allow their ignorance to overshadow my significance. I acknowledge

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: today that I am called, and because I am called,

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: no man can cancel what you've already approved in Jesus' name. Amen,

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: thanks for making prayer a priority in your life to

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: hear the Bible come to life. Stay tuned for the

24
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Bible in a Year, brought to you by Bible in

25
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: a Year dot.

26
00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Com whitewashed tombs.

27
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: In our last story, Paul attempted to make peace with

28
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: the Jews in Jerusalem by adhering to their ceremonies. However,

29
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: his reputation for starting churches preceded him. Paul was universally

30
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 3: hated among the Jews in Jerusalem, so they beat him

31
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: and tried to kill him. Luckily, he was saved by

32
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: the Judge of Jerusalem, where Paul would get a fair

33
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: trial as a Roman citizen. Now we see that the

34
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: Jews refuse to let Paul receive a fair and just trial.

35
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: They are held bent on killing him, so the judge

36
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: is forced to send him away to the governor one

37
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: step closer to Rome. Inspired by the Book of Acts, Galatians, Philippians,

38
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: First Thessalonians, Ephesians, and First Corinthians.

39
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: Hello and welcome once again to the Bible in a

40
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 4: Year podcast. Jack Graham you are joining over twenty seven

41
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: million people who have downloaded this amazing opportunity to share

42
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 4: the Word of God together. Thank you and be sure

43
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: and tell someone else about how they can also walk

44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: through the Bible with us through the Bible in a year.

45
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: In our previous episode, Paul returned to Jerusalem. He sought

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: to be at peace, even participating in Jewish religious traditions

47
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: in order to demonstrate to believing Jews, that is, Jews

48
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: who believed in Jesus, that he was not rejecting or

49
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: despising ancient tradition. However, this peace was soon shattered as

50
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: unbelieving Jews from Asia, who had heard of Paul's ministry

51
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: and despised him, stirred up the entire city against him.

52
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: It nearly cost Paul his life, but he had appealed

53
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: to the Roman judge on the basis of his Roman

54
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: citizenship and his life was spared, though he would have

55
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: to stand trial with the Jewish religious Council. So today

56
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: we'll hear as Paul appears before the Pharisees, Sadducees, and

57
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: elders of Jerusalem. The divided panel will fail to come

58
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: to a conclusion about Paul and Paul would be referred

59
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: to the governor for trial. This frustrated counsel will plot

60
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 4: to kill Paul, but God will once again spare his life.

61
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: So listen now to the reading of God's work.

62
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: Paul stood before the council of pharisees and elders. The

63
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: judge was above them, all observing their dialogue to make

64
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: a decision. Dried blood was kicked on the side of

65
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: Paul's face as he looked at the crowd. His knee

66
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: was swollen from yesterday's beating. It throbbed as he stood

67
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: before his accusers. My brothers, I have lived my whole

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 3: life with a clear conscience. I the High Priest, slapped

69
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: Paul on the side of his face. He ordered the

70
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: other men to do the same. One by one, they

71
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: struck him. With every blow, Paul became more and more angry.

72
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: Blood dripped down from his ears. Paul paused for a

73
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: long moment. You whitewashed tomb. He scowled, his voice raised

74
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: for the whole room to hear. His bones shook with anger.

75
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: He could no longer endure their hypocrisy. You judge me

76
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: because I broke your law. But here you are raising

77
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: your hand against a brother, disobeying your own law. Shut up,

78
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: One of them shouted, don't you know you are speaking

79
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: to the high priest. Paul rolled his neck back and

80
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: thought for a moment. He looked at the crowd. He

81
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: saw that some of them were Pharisees and others were Sodoces. Perfect,

82
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: Paul thought to himself. The Pharisees believed in resurrection from

83
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: the dead, spirit and angels. Sodyces, however, did not. It

84
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: was a highly debated topic of the time and caused

85
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: a great amount of division in the culture. Rather than

86
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: argue with his accusers, he decided to pit them against

87
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: one another. My brothers, please forgive me, Paul said, with

88
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: an apologetic smile. I was simply hoping in the resurrection

89
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: from the dead. I presume that is why I am

90
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: on trial. Paul remained silent after this. He could hear

91
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: mumbles and murmurings from the crowd. Small conversations arose from

92
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: different corners of the room, and soon the entire court

93
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: house was in an uproar, Pharisees and soughtyces arguing over

94
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: spiritual matters. Paul chuckled to himself, remembering when he was

95
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: as petty and prideful as they were. They argued for

96
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: a while, but eventually turned their regression towards Paul. Afraid

97
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: that he might be ripped to shreds, the judge took

98
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: him away and made arrangements for him to go to

99
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 3: the governor for a trial. So Paul spent yet another

100
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: night in a cold jail cell. He could hear the

101
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: clamoring of people outside. His heart ached for the Ephesian Church.

102
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: He prayed that they were living in their identities. He

103
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: missed the philip In Church. He thanked God for their

104
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: partnership in the Gospel. He worried for the Corinthan Church.

105
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: He prayed that their hearts would turn back to God.

106
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: He rejoiced over the Thessalonian Church. He prayed that they

107
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: would remain steadfast and unbroken. He anguished over the Galatian Church,

108
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: yet he had hoped that they would reunite with the

109
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: Gospel of grace. All these people Paul had seen grow

110
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: and follow Jesus. He loved them all with a father's heart.

111
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: He worried that he would never see any of them again.

112
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: As Paul closed his eyes and drifted slowly to sleep,

113
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: he felt the comforting voice of God's spirit, saying, be

114
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: strong and courageous, for I am sending you to Rome.

115
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 3: As Paul slept soundly in his cell, the Jews plotted

116
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: to kill him. The next day, under the cover of night,

117
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: they conspired to murder him. It was their plan to

118
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: ask the judge for another trial, and while Paul was

119
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: being led to the court house, they would send thirty

120
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: men to kill him. It was a simple plan, but

121
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: fool proof if they could get the judge to agree

122
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: to another trial. However, an agent of the Lord was

123
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: present in the shadows, an unknowing minister of his will

124
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: was listening in on their conversation. A small boy hid

125
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: between two beryls, listening to the Jews conspiring to kill Paul.

126
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: This little boy was Paul's nephew. Paul's nephew informed the

127
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: judge about the plot to kill him, so the judge

128
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: gathered two hundred men to escort Paul to Felix the Governor.

129
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: We begin today's reading with Paul addressing the Council of

130
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: the High Priest, Pharisees and elders of Jerusalem. He was

131
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: barely able to get his first words out before the

132
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: High Priest and an Aas turned to violence, ordering those

133
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: near Paul to strike him on the mouth and silence him.

134
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: In response, we hear Paul rebuke them in Acts twenty three,

135
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: verse three, saying, God is going to strike you, you

136
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me according to

137
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 4: the law, and yet contrary to the law, you order

138
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: me to be struck. In calling out the hypocrisy and

139
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: the hatred of those who were judging him, Paul's words

140
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: harkened back to Christ's own condemnation of the Pharisees, whom

141
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: he called white washed tombs. White Washing walls or tombs

142
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: does not change what is behind the exterior visage, and

143
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: the council's grandstanding and piety did not change the condition

144
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 4: of their unbelieving hearts, the fact that they desperately needed

145
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: genuine salvation. They needed Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Savior

146
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: of the world. Paul then noted that among these men

147
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: there was no unity. The council was made up of

148
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: Pharisees as well as Sadducees, the latter of which did

149
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: not believe in bodily resurrection from the dead. Knowing he

150
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: could not argue his way out of this situation, Paul

151
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: made use of the disagreement among these men, stating that

152
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: he was being put on trials simply because he had

153
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: hope in the resurrection. In this Paul was completely truthful,

154
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: because he did have great hope in the resurrection of

155
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: Jesus and therefore the resurrection of his own body, because

156
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: of what Christ had accomplished and promised. Jesus said, I

157
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: am the resurrection in the life, and he that believes

158
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 4: in me, though he be dead, he will live. And

159
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: though the Pharisees didn't hope in the same way in

160
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: the resurrection, they found themselves backed into a corner. They

161
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: could not condemn Paul for affirming something that they believed

162
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: so dearly, the resurrection of the dead, so some advocated

163
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 4: for his release. As the dissension among the group grew

164
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: more and more heated violence began to erupt. The Roman judge,

165
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: who stood observing the proceedings, was worried that Paul would

166
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: be ripped to shreads, so he shut things down and

167
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: sent him back to the barracks. That very night, the

168
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: Lord appeared to Paul to comfort and strengthen him, telling

169
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: him to take courage because this was not the end

170
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: of the road for him. You see, even in the

171
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: moment of trial, God was working out his purposes, just

172
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: as Paul had testified to the Gospel in Jerusalem. He

173
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: would soon have the opportunity to go to Rome and

174
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: to share Jesus Christ at the very seat of power.

175
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: More than a simple side note to this story, this

176
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: is the main point. God works all things for the

177
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 4: good of those who love Him and are fulfilling his purposes.

178
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: This is Romans eight twenty eight in the New Testament.

179
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: Let me quote it. For God is working all things

180
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: together for the good to them who love the Lord,

181
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: to those who are called according to his purpose. Of course,

182
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: Paul was not out of danger yet. As he sat

183
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: in his cell that not in Jerusalem, the leader there

184
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: began to plot his murder. They planned to ask the

185
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: judge for another trial the next morning, but this was

186
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 4: only to kill him before he could even arrive at

187
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: the courthouse. But as we know, God had a bigger

188
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: and greater plan for Paul, So it should come as

189
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: no surprise that their plan was uncovered. Paul's own nephew

190
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 4: overheard them and alerted Paul, who warned the centurion who

191
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: was guarding him So as we close today's reading, we

192
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: heard how God provided safe passage for Paul to leave Jerusalem,

193
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: not under the cover of night, but with a Roman

194
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: escort of two hundred soldiers. The Gospel was marching on,

195
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: headed to Caesarea and Felix the Governor. We'll get to

196
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: that the next time. Dear Lord, how we thank you

197
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: for the reminder that our lives are always in your hands,

198
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: that we could be courageous and fearless in the face

199
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: of death. Lord, we thank you for the power of

200
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: the resurrection and the promise of the Gospel that Jesus lives.

201
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: May we live in the power of His cross and

202
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: resurrection every day of our lives, and may we always

203
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: be faithful to share this good news with our neighbors

204
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,360
