Psalm 63; Acts 25. 1-26 

The net widens: Paul's testimony has now been heard before crowds of Jews in Jerusalem, the local Centurion, Lysias his commander, the Sanhedrin, Felix the governor, Festus his successor, King Agrippa and prominent men of the city, as well as high ranking military officers; now he's on his way to Rome to be tried before Caesar the Roman emperor himself!

Psalm 23; Luke 9.22-25; Acts 24.10-27

Felix clearly has an uneasy conscience regarding justice, self-control and the coming judgement, but at the same time, he is interested in what he has to say and brings his wife and the tribune Lysias into the conversation.

Psalm 126; Matthew 25.19–21; Acts 21

Paul follows the advice of James and the Jerusalem Christian elders by praying and fasting for seven days, then paying towards the cost of several other men taking the Narazite vow. Whether he should have followed their advice or not, false rumours persist, and the crowd-pleasing gesture fails to restore peace in Jerusalem.
