Listen from:
The Apostle Paul and his company continued on their journey toward Jerusalem. His love for his brethren, his kinsmen, burned in his heart, and so great was his desire to be in Jerusalem that he ignored the voice of the Spirit through the disciples. At Tyre, the disciples showed their affection by helping them on their way and all joining in prayer. When they arrived in Cæsarea, they stayed with Philip the evangelist and his four daughters. A prophet named Agabus told the Apostle that the Jews would bind him and deliver him to the Gentiles. Paul was unmoved and his answer was that he was ready to die for the Lord Jesus. Finally, they arrived at Jerusalem and the brethren gladly received them. They told him that the Jews that believed numbered many thousands but they were all zealous of the law. This is sad, for the books of Romans and Galatians had been written before this, showing that they were not under law but under grace. Nonetheless, he submitted to their suggestion and was about to offer sacrifices when the Jews laid hands on him in the temple. As they sought to kill Paul, tidings came to the chief captain, who delivered him out of their hands. Why were they so angry with this man? He was determined to find out. However, Paul requested that he speak in his own defense. His request was granted and when a great silence was made, he spoke to the multitude in the Hebrew language.
