message of salvation the people of
00:07:18
Jerusalem and their leaders did not
00:07:20
recognize Jesus yet when they condemned
00:07:25
him they fulfilled the prophecies that
00:07:28
are read every Sabbath they crucified
00:07:32
Him but God raised him from the dead on
00:07:35

00:24:12
men of Athens I see you are a very
00:24:17
religious people for as I was passing
00:24:20
through your city I noticed how many
00:24:23
gods you worship
00:24:25
I even saw an altar to an unknown God I
00:24:31
want to tell you that this God you
00:24:35
worship without knowing is the same God
00:24:38
who made the world and everything in it
00:24:45
but since he is Lord of Heaven and Earth
00:24:48
he does not dwell in temples made by man
00:24:52
nor is he served with human hands as if
00:24:55
he needed anything for he himself gives
00:24:59
all men life and breath and everything
00:25:09
we should not think of God as an image
00:25:12
of gold or silver or stone made my man's
00:25:17
design or skill now God commands all
00:25:24
people everywhere to repent for he has
00:25:31
set a day when Jesus the Christ will
00:25:35
judge the world our God has given us
00:25:41
proof of this and that after Jesus was
00:25:45
crucified by the Romans he raised him
00:25:50
from the dead did he say raised from the
00:25:54
dead whoever heard of such a thing
00:25:58
impossible gentlemen be quiet please be
00:26:03
quiet we are here to expand our thinking
00:26:06
and listen to new truth Paul we
00:26:12
appreciated what you have to say we've
00:26:16
given us much to think about I know the
00:26:22
Jews asked for signs and the Greeks
00:26:25
searched for wisdom but we teach Christ
00:26:28
crucified and resurrected to life again
00:26:34
these are stumbling blocks to the Jews
00:26:38
and foolishness to the Greeks
00:26:41
well I regret that the hour has grown
00:26:46
late we will hear you again Paul thank

00:35:17
you to listen patiently to me the Jews
00:35:25
all know that from the time I was a
00:35:28
child I lived according to the strictest
00:35:30
laws of our religion I too considered it
00:35:35
my duty to oppose the name of Jesus of
00:35:38
Nazareth and that is what I did in
00:35:43
Jerusalem on the authority of the high
00:35:46
priests I put many of his believers in
00:35:49
prison and when they were put to death I
00:35:52
cast my vote against them in my
00:35:58
obsession to persecute them I even
00:36:00
traveled to foreign cities I was on my
00:36:05
way to Damascus when I saw a light from
00:36:11
heaven brighter than the sun shining all
00:36:15
around me and my companions and I heard
00:36:20
a voice say saw Saul why do you
00:36:28
persecute me I asked who are you lord
00:36:35
I am Jesus now arise and stand on your
00:36:45
feet I have chosen you as a servant and
00:36:49
as a witness to both the Jews and the
00:36:52
Gentiles I am sending you to open their
00:36:55
eyes to turn them from darkness to light
00:36:58
from the power of Satan to God so they
00:37:02
may be forgiven of their sins
00:37:08
and so king agrippa
00:37:11
I was not disobedient to this vision
00:37:14
from heaven I have preached that both
00:37:17
the Jews and the Gentiles should repent
00:37:20
and turn to God and that is why the
00:37:26
Jewish sees me in the temple but I am
00:37:30
saying nothing beyond what the prophets
00:37:32
a Moses said would happen that the
00:37:35
Messiah would suffer and as the first to
00:37:38
rise from the dead would proclaim light
00:37:40
and being to his own people and to the
00:37:45
gents right from the dead hey you're out
00:37:48
of your mind Paul Paul this learning
00:37:54
making you mad I'm not insane most noble
00:37:58
Festus what I am saying is the truth and
00:38:02
was foretold by the prophets I know the
00:38:08
king is familiar with these things King
00:38:11
Agrippa do you believe the law and the
00:38:14
prophets
00:38:20
[Music]
00:38:22
I know you do
00:38:25
[Music]
00:38:35
Paul
00:38:38
poor you could almost persuade me to
00:38:40
become a Christian I pray to God that
00:38:44
not only you but all those who hear my
00:38:47
words may become as I am today except
00:38:53
for these chains what do you think
00:39:00
Paul isn't guilty of any crime he could
00:39:04
have been set free if he hadn't appealed
00:39:05
to Caesar
00:39:06
it doesn't appear he's done anything
00:39:07
deserving death or even imprisonment but
00:39:11
by law he must go to Rome what Caesar
00:39:13
will judge him
00:39:22
late in the summer a ship was found to
00:39:25
take Paul to Italy
00:39:26
he was handed over to a Centurion of the
00:39:29
Imperial regiment named
00:39:31
Julius
00:39:32
[Music]
00:39:49
yeah
00:39:54
I'm warning you this voyage is going to
00:39:56
end in disaster
00:39:57
there'll be a loss of the cargo the ship
00:40:00
perhaps even our lives and what is your
00:40:05
occupation fortune teller I suppose I'm
00:40:10
a tentmaker oh well tentmaker the
00:40:14
captain and the owner of this ship has
00:40:16
advised me that this isn't a suitable
00:40:17
Harbor for the winter so we must sail
00:40:20
for the west along the coast to another
00:40:23
port oh look at this beautiful
00:40:34
there's nothing to worry about
00:41:31
[Music]
00:41:34
those dealers are trying to escape if
00:41:37
they have no hope of being safe
00:41:46
we all stay together
00:42:10
[Music]
00:42:19
lost
00:42:24
I don't know where we are
00:42:31
Paul I should have listened to you
00:42:34
we're probably all going to die
00:42:37
yes
00:42:39
that's right no no do not lose courage
00:42:50
no one is going to die
00:42:55
how do you know this
00:42:57
an angel of the god I serve stood beside
00:43:00
me last night and said Paul do not be
00:43:04
afraid you must stand before Caesar and
00:43:08
God has also given you the lives of
00:43:11
those who sail with you the ship will be
00:43:14
lost but no one will perish so do not
00:43:19
lose hope I have faith in God that it
00:43:23
will happen as he has said
00:43:44
when Oh
00:43:48
we'll run the ship around the parcel
00:43:54
might be
00:44:26
everyone
00:44:35
oh good swim like a fish
00:45:26
[Music]
00:45:46
[Music]
00:45:54
it's a snake
00:45:57
back away the Viper steadily
00:46:01
[Music]
00:46:04
it's nothing the venom of this snake
00:46:07
kills almost instantly
00:46:09
Julius don't worry the Lord has promised
00:46:13
that I shall get to Rome nothing on
00:46:16
earth is going to prevent that
00:46:19
[Music]
00:46:30
stayed on the island of Malta for three
00:46:33
months until a ship from Alexandria took
00:46:35
us to Rome and your trial before Caesar
00:46:38
yes after waiting two more years here in
00:46:42
Rome it happened just as the Lord had
00:46:45
promised I testified before Nero and was
00:46:49
acquitted on all charges amazing we must
00:46:53
remember the trial was before the firing
00:46:55
room before Nero tried to deflect the
00:46:58
blame by charging the Christians with
00:47:00
the crime before so many of the faithful
00:47:04
had been martyred for the entertainment
00:47:06
of the Emperor we heard some of the
00:47:09
martyrs were from Nero's own household I
00:47:13
pray that I can remain as faithful to
00:47:15
the end
00:47:16
[Music]
00:47:22
for God did not give us a spirit of fear
00:47:25
but a spirit of power of love and of a
00:47:30
sound mind so do not be ashamed to
00:47:35
testify in the name of our Lord or be
00:47:38
ashamed of me his prisoner
00:47:42
[Music]
00:47:45
remember Jesus Christ raised from the
00:47:49
dead descended from David this is my
00:47:58
gospel for which I am suffering evil to
00:48:01
the point of being chained like a
00:48:03
criminal but God's Word is never chained
00:48:09
[Music]
00:48:10
for I am already being poured out like a
00:48:13
drink offering
00:48:18
and the time has come for my departure
00:48:22
[Music]
00:48:42
[Music]
00:48:45
I
00:48:51
I can't
00:48:55
now there is in store for me
00:48:57
[Music]
00:49:06
my god
00:49:13
[Music]
00:49:26
