Nero Replaces Felix with Festus Felix was a terrible ruler who hated the Jews Festus was much stronger and fairer Died after only 3 years

Nero Replaces Felix with Festus Felix was a terrible ruler who hated the Jews Festus was much stronger and fairer Died after only 3 years in office

Festus A.D. 56

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied Three days after arriving – 25:1 The next day – 25:6 I did not delay – 25:17 Contrast with the 2 years Felix left Paul in prison!

Trial in Caesarea

Palace and Praetorium in Caesarea (Where the Pilate Inscription is located)

Paul’s Defense I have done nothing wrong against the Jews Or against the Temple Or against Caesar Acts 25:8

I appeal to Caesar! To Caesar you will go! Acts 25:11 Acts 25:12

The Caesar before whom Paul would have stood was Nero! A.D

King Agrippa II & Bernice Brother and Sister Siblings of Drusilla (Wife of Felix) Children of Agrippa I Great-grandchildren of Herod the Great

King Agrippa 17 when his father died (Acts 12) Given a small kingdom Territory grew – Became Curator of Jerusalem Temple Power to appoint High Priest

Bernice Could be her own soap opera Married an uncle at 13 (he died) Moved in with her brother Rumors of incest (Josephus Jewish Antiquities ) Later remarried/divorced/returned to Herod Agrippa II

Bernice Became a mistress of Titus after the fall of Jerusalem Titus had to send her away in order to become Emperor of Rome in A.D. 79

Conclusions of Festus Conclusions of Festus Dispute with him about their own religion (19) A dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive (19) Nothing deserving of death (25) I (need) something to write (26)

Paul’s Defense to Agrippa I lived as a Pharisee (4-8) I opposed the name of Jesus (9-11) I saw a light from heaven (12-18)

3 rd Account of Paul’s Conversion Shortest of the 3 No mention of Ananias Focus on the calling from God to go to the Gentiles

Festus Interrupts Paul You are out of your mind, Paul! (24) Your great learning is driving you insane (24) He interrupted when Paul began talking about RESURRECTION

2 Explosive Words (23)

King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.

Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?

The Verdict Paul was innocent He could have been set free Must send him to Rome

Re-enter Luke! (Last seen in 21:18)

The Centurion The Centurion (27:1) Julius Centurions were professionals Was impressed with Paul from the start

Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss of ship and cargo, and to our own lives also. (27:10)

Typhoon hit them at Crete “Sandbars of Syrtis” (17) are in N. Africa “We…gave up hope” (20)
