After being “delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,” the Apostle Paul arranges a meeting with the Jewish rulers of the synagogues in Rome to explain why he was a prisoner there and, chiefly, to share the truth with them of Christ’s resurrection and the gospel of grace. We learn in this episode that the response of the Jews to Paul’s teaching in Rome was mixed, but a familiar one: some were persuaded by what had been spoken and believed, and others believed not. But this never deterred Paul, the preacher, as he boldly and unashamedly proclaimed the Word, so that others might be saved.
