Paul Beaten in Jerusalem - The Book of Acts

In this Bible Story, Paul attempts to make peace with the jews in Jerusalem by adhering to their ceremonies. However, his reputation for starting churches precedes him. Paul is universally hated among the Jews in Jerusalem, so they beat him and try to kill him. Luckily, he is saved by the Judge of Jerusalem, where Paul would get a fair trial as a Roman citizen. This story is inspired by Acts 21:15-22:30. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is Acts 22:25 from the King James Version.

Episode 237: As Paul and Luke entered Jerusalem during Passover, they made their way to the home of James the brother of Jesus. There James advised Paul to attend a purification ceremony to appease the Jews. On the last day, however, some Jews from Asia came and incited a mob against him. The mob was so fierce that it required the Roman officials to break it up and bring Paul on their shoulders to the judge. Once there Paul asked the judge if he could address the crowd. But this only served to rile up the mob even more.
