Today’s Reading: Acts 24:1-21

And when the governor had nodded to him to speak, Paul replied: “Knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.”

Acts 24:10

  • The Prosecution Against Paul (v.1-9)
    • First Charge: The Sedition
    • Second Charge: Sectarianism
    • Third Charge: Sacrilege against the Temple

  • Paul’s Defense (v.10-21)

    • First Rebuttal: The prosecution lacks truth.
    • Second Rebuttal: Christianity is the true form of Judaism.
    • Third Rebuttal: The Resurrection is the real issue.
