As soon as Festus takes charge, he makes a little trip to Jerusalem. The Jewish authorities there chew his ear off about Paul.The religious authorities want Paul transferred back to Jerusalem (where they can finish up their murder/death/kill plot). We're guessing they gave up on the whole not-eating-until-Paul-is-dead thing.But Festus is all like, No, come to Caesarea and we'll totally do a trial. Dude, we just did that two years ago. Roman bureaucracy is the worst.About a week and a half later, everyone is back in Caesarea and it's trial time.The Jewish guys from Jerusalem say a bunch of completely untrue stuff about Paul. Typical.Then it's Paul's turn. His defense: not guilty.Festus says that since it sounds like they're all disputing over Jewish religious stuff, maybe Paul should just head down to Jerusalem and face trial there (maybe then the council members can kill Paul and Festus can cross one thing off his to-do list).But Paul says he's appealing to the emperor's tribunal in Rome. Darn. He's headed up to the highest court in the land. He hasn't done anything wrong to the Jewish people, so why should they try him? To the emperor it is!NOTES: Thanks to shmoop.com

Acts Chapter 24

Paul's Trial In Caesarea

Five days later, the high priest Ananias, some of the council elders, and a lawyer named Tertullus come up to Caesarea.When the hearing begins, Tertullus accuses Paul of being an outside agitator who has come in and said blasphemous and profane things in the temple. That's serious business.Paul defends himself to the governor. This better be good.He tells the governor that no one in the temple saw him arguing or teaching about Jesus (it's true—he was just there performing his fancy ritual). In other words, the charges against him are straight-up lies.Paul admits that he is a follower of Jesus, but he's also a Jew who believes in God and the authority of Jewish law and the prophets and all that good stuff. Jesus is just the natural continuation of all this.Paul explains that when he was in the temple just minding his own business and not upsetting anyone, some Jews from Asia came along and had him arrested. Basically, this whole shebang is bogus.

The Trial Before The Council

Paul tells the Jewish council that he's always lived a good life and that's he's totally right with God.

The high priest, Ananias, orders some of the others to punch Paul in the mouth. And they do it. What a bunch of followers.

Paul gets angry and calls the high priest a "whitewashed wall." Burn! He also points out that it's against Jewish law to hit him. Check and mate.

But the council tells Paul that he has no right to insult the high priest and then Paul does a 180, agrees with them, and apologizes.

Hmmm. That apology might be a first for Paul.

Paul tells them that he himself is a Pharisee and that he's there because of the things he's been teaching about Jesus and the resurrection of the dead. That's sort of right.

A fight breaks out between the Pharisees and Sadducees who both have different views about the resurrection of the dead. No one can agree on anything apparently in this story. Go figure.

The Pharisees take Paul's side for a bit (good work, Paul), but things start to get out of control and the Romans remove Paul from the room and take him back to prison. Darn. Just when he was making some headway

Hi, My Name Is Paul~Acts-Chapter 22

Paul addresses the crowd in Hebrew (which makes their ears perk up a little) and tells them his life story. This better be good.He is a Jew who was born in Tarsus and brought up in a good Jewish home where he learned respect for Jewish law and customs. He's a real mensch.He tells them how he persecuted Christians himself (who doesn't love a little persecution) until he saw a light that blinded him on the road to Damascus and heard the voice of Jesus himself. Impressed yet, everyone?Then he explains that Ananias restored his sight and encouraged him to be baptized. God himself warned Paul that the people in Jerusalem weren't gonna take to kindly to the new and improved him, so he sent him to the Gentiles.

Flog Him!

When the people hear this, they freak out and start screaming that Paul should be killed. The soldiers decide to take Paul aside and flog him.But before they can start, Paul points out that he was born a Roman citizen and it's not exactly legal for them to flog him.The Romans are all freaked out by this. If Paul was born a Roman citizen, then tying him up to flog him is a big no-no.They release him and order him to appear before the Jewish high priests and council.

Paul In Caesarea

Paul gets on a ship and starts the journey toward Jerusalem. Bon voyage!The group stops in a bunch of ports and are well-received by various Christians before arriving in Caesarea.Upon arrival, Paul meets with Philip (who was one of the seven that was appointed by the apostles in Chapter 6).At Philip's house, a local prophet named Agabus tells Paul that he will be imprisoned and turned over to the Gentiles.All Paul's friends hear this and beg Paul not to go to Jerusalem.No way, Paul tells them. He's ready to die if that's what God needs him to do to spread the word.

Well, in that case, go ahead, they tell himWhen the ritual is almost over (it takes seven days to complete), the non-Jewish-Christians in town see him in the temple and freak out.They grab Paul and tell everyone that he's been teaching "everyone everywhere" that Jewish law stinks. They also (wrongly) assume that he has—horror of horrors—taken a Gentile into the temple. It's a pretty big no-no.The Jewish naysayers are all attacking Paul when a group of soldiers comes along and stops them from beating him up. They also arrest Paul, but hey, it's better than a beating by an angry mob.The soldiers are trying to figure out what Paul did, but the whole crowd is in chaos. The men lead Paul away while the mob is still trying to get at him.Before putting him in prison, Paul asks the soldiers if he can address the people. They tell him to have at it and then (we're guessing) sit back to watch Paul get torn apart.
