V.1-17 Paul is warned by the Lord’s disciples not to go to Jerusalem. We need to remember that it was not because he wanted to disobey the Lord, but because he loved his own people, the Jews, and he longed that they would be saved. He arrives in Jerusalem.
V.18-40 He isn’t there long before the Jews stir up trouble against him. Things quickly go from bad to worse, and unless he had been rescued, he would have been killed.
V.35-40 On the stairs of the castle, Paul stops, and asks if he may address the crowd below. And so he starts to speak.
