GOLDEN TEXT-Herein I also exercise ryself to have a conscience void of of rise toward God and inen always.-Acts 1:16. This is a court scene, and it might e well with certain classeq to intro. uCV the lesson by describing such a 'athering. The lesson occurred ilve ays after the last lesson, and twelve nIys after Paul reached Jerusalem, earing the collection for the poor. 'he place, Caesarea, was the Roman apital of Judea. I. The Prisoner's Examinationt (vv. -9). In addition to the Ronu gov rnor, Felix, attired in his gorgeous Illelal regalia, on a Platform nearby, ere the high priest of the Jews, in his ighly colored anil Jeweled robes, the Liwyer, Tertullus, in lis Roman toga, nd the elders of the Sanhedrin who ad come down froi Jerusaleni to be vitnesses against Paul. Of Tertullus t was said that, by his persuasive ongue, he could make white seem lack, and could therefore more easily nake it appear that Paul was "a dan ,er to the Roman power, and not mere. y a turbulent and renegade Jew." The udge, Felix, was an exceptionally bad o'overnor, who two years later was re alled by Nero to tome. The infer mnce of verse two is that Paul was an nelter of rebellion and robberies, but he exact charges were three-fold: :See vv. 5-0) (a) that Paul was a nover of insurrection; (b) that he was t ringleader of a sect of Nazarenes vho were causing trouble in the prov nee: and (c) that he had profaned the Fewlsh temple at Jerusalem. The hliarge of insurrection would he espe ially obnoxious to Felix who had jupt )een- praised for keeping pence in his lominion. 'lThat of being a leader of ieresy was not serious, for the Riomans Ind no desire to interfere' between one Fewish s-ct and another, but it led to 'he last one, viz., profaning the tem. pe. The fRomans had legalized the Jewish ritual, and for Paul to profane the holy pilace would be a serious out 7age. The weakness of Tertullus' case was that he produned no evidence to support his Chrl-ges. The accusers were there, but they had no witnesses. 11. The Prisoner's Defense (vv. 10-21). Paul cheerfully mnale his defense, for he knew the Jews and their customs, and that Felix had married a Jewess, (v. 24). We might consider this de fense first negatively and then positive ly. On the negative side, Paul answers each charge seriatim. In the first place there had not been time for him to cause an insurrection (v. 11). Going back over these (las; (1) his arrival in Jerusalem (21 :15) ;(2) his appear Iace before James (21 :18) ; (3, 4, 5 and 0), the (lays of his vow (Chi. 21 :26, 27) (7) hUs arm-est; (8) his appearance be fore the Sanhedrin ; (9) the conspir-acy and his deliverance:1 (10, 11, 12 and 13) in Caeosar-ea (See Chi. 24:1). Paul's statement shlowed( that the whole story of his experienci(e wans fresh in the memories of bo0th friends and foes. It was the JTews who did the. stirring up. Paul answvers tihe second charge by acknowvledging (vv. 14-10) that he be longed to the Christian wvay of salva tion, but denied that this was heresy. Paul was a true Jewv and1( a good Pharisee,, for (1) he worshiped the same God '(v. (14) ; (2) lie believed in the Jewish law~~ anmd prophets. From them he knew lie could pirove that Jesus was the hiessiah. (3) H~e agreedi with the Pharisees (v. 15) in hope to ward God, a resurr-ection fronm tne dead and immortal life. Paul's life was "void of offense" toward God in heart andl worship, and toward men as shown in good deeds. It was for this that he exercised hi mself. Literally, lhe-w~orkced upon- the raw material, dlisciplining and~ training it. Paul answvers the third charge by a simple denilta that it had actually taken place, and calls tot- wit nesses. Positively, Paul explains that he had followed the God of his fathers, that lhe believed in...ulfilled prophecy literally the resurrlection of -Jesus from the dead--thait he came to Jerusalem with aims for the poor, and, as before the coneil, he stands upon his in tegrity.-* li. The Judge'. Delay (vv. 22-27). Felix had a "more perfect knowledge of that way." We believe he had se cured thIs knowledge from P~iilIp, the evangelist, andl froxth Cornelius, the Ro man Centurion, bo0th of whom lived in Caesarea. Bly deferring his decision, Felix avoided an outrageous injustice to Paul, and at the same time -gave serious offense to the troublesome Jews whio knew of his evil conduct. From verse twenty-three we see that Paul was given liberty, literally such indulgence in freedbm as would be con siatent with his safety, Luke, the phy. sieian, and Philip, the evangelist, vis ited him here, bringing food~, pooks and letters, After a time F'eltr and his wife, Dlrusilla, sent for Paul to talk with him "concerning them faith in Cihrist."
