Acts 21:1 - 22:21

ActsSteve Gregg
In Acts 21:1-22:21, Paul faces opposition and ultimately arrest in his journey to Jerusalem. Despite warnings about his fate, Paul is determined to follow through with a Nazarite vow and observe Torah practices among Torah-observant people. When he arrives in Jerusalem, he is falsely accused of teaching Jews to forsake Moses and is arrested after obeying James's instruction to enter the temple. In his subsequent testimony, Paul emphasizes his Jewish background and his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, but his mention of preaching to the Gentiles incites anger in the crowd.
