Luke-Acts CEB (Common English Bible)

How all gives another defense before came of Grandpa and niece, King, Agripa, and Bernice

Paul gives a defendió before Festus. Festus recounts this to King Agrippa

Paul now gives another defense before Felix. Paul keeps having opportunities of Jesus talked about to testify about Jesus, and so he uses these opportunities many opportunities as he is locked up, locked up actually for quite a while, and he uses these opportunities to declare the truth about the resurrection of Jesus.

Paul gives another defense before the Jewish council. And another fight type thing breaks out and then start freaking out. And Paul has a experience where he has. The Lord speaks to him and encourages him. And then there is this big plot to kill him. They say they’re not gonna eat or drink until they kill him, but I wonder if any of them starve to death because it doesn’t seem like he died very qu...

Paul stands before the Jewish assembly and gives a defense and they start screaming at him. And then the commander decides to start whipping him when he realizes that. He’s a human citizen. This idea of Paul being a Roman citizen is very interesting. Is it because his parents were slaves. You were Fred. Is he connected to the synagogue. Freedmen in chapter 6, who go against Steven of course, he is...

In this chapter Paul moves toward Jerusalem in a similar way that Jesus moved toward Jerusalem in the book of Luke, even though Paul knew, and others knew the in Jerusalem. He would have to pay a price either of being arrested or of being killed. Paul was willing to pay that price. Peter said that he was willing to pay that price, but he hadn’t really understood it. Jesus, of course, did pay the p...

This passage has a very very interesting story about a man who falls asleep because the preacher was talking too long. If you follow through the book of ax, you see that Paul often talked for a long time. He was always ready to speak. People saw him as the main speaker. He talks so long that somebody fell asleep and died. How can somebody talk so long that they not only talk until midnight. But th...

Ephesus. Ephesus We made some disciples 12 of them. In fact that receive the baptism. Not only of John, but also the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The connection here seems to be that jones baptism was preparing us for the baptism that we would get from Jesus. Jesus is the one who’s connected to the second baptism. It seems the primary baptism that Jones baptism prepared us, for. We also read about...

Pricilla and Aquilla

Vaseline, Anika, Bria, Athens, BEREA. Paul stands up in the middle of the council on Mars Hill and Gibbs. His speech. His speech has some similarities to the speech that he spoke in Lyra when he healed the Man, and they thought he they Barnabas and Paul were Zeus and Hermes. There is some familiar with that, but this is definitely more extensive of a speech, and connecting this idea of the resurre...

Here we meet Timothy. We also meet Lydia. We also met a vision of a man from Macedonia. We also met the Philippian jailer, and we also meet the slave girl a lot of different people that we met in this chapter. We have Paul bringing up the idea that he and Silas are Roman citizens. How could this be? How could Paul and Silas be Roman citizens well, it just so happens that if you were a slave who wa...

The Jerusalem council do we think that this was a good idea for them to have these various stipulations. The stipulation of avoiding food offered to idols, especially in Light of some of Paul’s letters, and his discussion of the food offer titles. Do we think that the idea of eating blood or eating meat from strangled. Animals is also a good idea. Do we think that the sexual immorality is a good i...

paul and barnabas Paul and Barnabas.

We begin with the church at Antioch. I guess one question to start out with is. Why does Luke list five people from the leadership of the Antioch, church. The first and the last members of this group are Barnabas and Saul, who, then our key characters in this story. The second person in the list, Simeon, Nick named Niger could be the very Simeon from Sirene, who carried the Jesus Cross in the book...

Here we have an encounter with Peter and Hart HEROD. This is actually HEROD. Agrippa number one. A gripper number two will come in later. That is his son a Agrippa number two. This is HERODZ, the great grandson I believe. This family is a big mass. Just like Caesars family. It is good to remember that from the book by Tom Holland called Dynasty. That details the lives of the Caesars family that a...

Now, Peter goes back to Jerusalem and tells the story again to the people who are criticizing him and accusing him, and probably saying all kinds of bad things about them. Like how in the world could you go and eat with those people and Don don’t you realize that those people are gentiles. They’re the evil wicked people for goodness say he’s a Center. And for goodness sake. He’s a part of the Roma...

Cornelius meets an angel, and Peter sees a giant sheet from heaven filled with food while he is hungry and wants to eat. This is a story that will be told and retold a few times. This is a key moment in the book of acts as it’s brought up again, and again, in different kinds of ways. This is a big moment for Peter. In a way. This is peters on the road to Damascus experience where he sees other hum...

On the road to Damascus. Paul has an encounter. Actually, Saul has an encounter with Jesus that will impact him forever. He’ll have other encounters with Jesus. He’ll see the Lord standing near them in the Temple and angel will come to him on the boat. He’ll have different experiences where the Lord will encourage him, and help him to not be afraid, but this encounter with Jesus, on the road to Da...

Philip, the evangelist Philip, the evangelist and encounters a city in Samaria, and has encounters with a man named Simon, the sorcerer Simon, the sorcerer. We see his transition to come to believe we see him becoming baptized. We see the Holy Spirit fall maybe even on him, and yet we see him torn with this bitterness. This thing that Peter sees, and we also ask see him asking for them to pray for...

Steven speech takes us through old testament history. Talks about Abraham a lot and his journey and it touches on Isaac and Jacob and Joseph. Then it focuses a lot on the person of Moses. Moses is the dominant figure in this story and another figure that is dominant in the story is the angel who appears before us. It is interesting that it doesn’t say that God appears, but that an angel appears it...

In the short chapter, we meet, Steven, who will be a key figure for the book of acts, even though he appears for a short time, his speech is one of the great speeches of ax, and one of the people who is watching the clothes of those stoning, and will have many of the other speeches. We also meet Philip, who will also be a key figure and act popping up here. And there never know where Phil it’s gon...

Here we have Ann and us, and Schaefer Ayin lying, not telling the truth, not telling the truth, the whole truth or nothing, but the truth. Really it has nothing to do with what they’re giving. It doesn’t seem, but it has everything to do with not telling the truth, when you are surrounded by the kingdom of the truth to tell lies is not good. There’s a great cost in lying and an anus and a fire a s...

Peter and John are arrested for doing a good deed and Peter spends what seems to be his first of many nights in jail. Peter is released from jail a lot of times. Although this time there is no miraculous release. It is always good to remember that the apostles who led us, and our Lord himself, who died for us were seen as criminals. They were locked up and sent to jail and prison often times. They...

In this chapter, we have a healing in Jesus name. We also have an encounter with a bagger. A man is begging. Many of us encounter people baking in our lives at street corners and crowded cities or other places. Some of us may never encounter them. Although one of the interesting things I think to note in this story is that Peter and John actually look at this man. They look at him with their eyes....

The coming of the Holy Spirit and acts two is a passage that many people connect to. It is always good to remember the geographical implications of this passage with people coming from all over the Roman world, Jewish people who had been scattered across the lands. One of those places that I want to speak of in this moment is Sirene. Cyrene is a place in Africa that Simon was from the Simon, who c...
