47 From The Book of Acts Is: Acts 24:1-21
- The
Jewish prosecution employed on this occasion a trained advocate,
Tertullus. What four charges are
brought against Paul? What evidence is produced in support?
- How
did Paul answer these charges? See
verses 11-13; 14-16; 17, 18. Note especially (a) that Paul had to contend
with unsupported and false accusations (verses 19-21). He was firm but calm in refuting
them. Are you, when you are in the
same situation? (b) Paul was able to give a reason for the hope that he
had (verses 14-16). Can you? (c)
Paul was really on trial because he believed in the resurrection of the
dead (verse 21). Does this truth
make a practical difference to your life?
