Acts 22:30, Acts 23:1-11 ~ to know the real reason

 

Acts 22:30 

Acts 23:1-11

But on the next day, desiring to know the real reason why Paul was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

23 And looking intently at the council, Paul said, 

“Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.” 

2 And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?” 

4 Those who stood by said, “Would you revile God's high priest?” 

5 And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”

6 Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.” 

7 And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. 

9 Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?” 

10 And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.

11 The following night 

The Lord stood by him and Said, 

“Take courage, 

for as you have testified 

to the facts 

about Me in Jerusalem, 

so you must testify also 

in Rome.”

1 Corinthians 15

 6 Then He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, 

He appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, 

and 

His grace toward me was not in vain. 

We are not apart from Jesus Christ,

our Father

and the Holy Spirit

not a result of works, 

so that no one may boast.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, 

if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. 

Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send

“Abba! Father!”

Even the Spirit of truth, 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it neither sees Him 

nor knows Him. 

You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

(Galatians 4:6

And because you are sons, 

God has sent the Spirit of His Son 

into our hearts, crying, 

“Abba! Father!”)

our heart is wide open.

For we do not know what to pray for as we ought,

For the Law of the Spirit 

of life

children of God

And yet

in the Mystery of Faith

1 Timothy 3:16

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

He was manifested in the flesh,

    vindicated by the Spirit,

        seen by angels,

proclaimed among the nations,

    believed on in the world,

        taken up in Glory.

1 Corinthians 2:11

For who knows a person's thoughts 

except the Spirit of that person, 

which is in him? 

So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God 

except the Spirit of God

Ezekiel 36:26

And I will give you a new heart, 

and 

a New Spirit I will put within you. 

And I will remove 

the heart of stone from your flesh 

and 

give you a heart of flesh.

Abba, Father,
