Acts
Chapter 21.
The Journey to Jerusalem. 21:1-16.
Cos. B-D. 258. 21:1.
Rhodes. B-D.
1096.
Patara. B-D. 938.

992. 21:2.
Cyprus. B-D. 285. 21:3.
Syria. B-D. 1229.
Tyre. B-D. 1302.
The

show great concern for Paul's welfare.

Caesarea. B-D.

* An evangelist. Was Philip (B-D. 984) a resident rather than an itinerate evangelist? Compare 8:40.
* A prophet. Did Agabus come from Judea
to warn Paul? B-D. 18.
We observe:-
The
pleading of the disciples. 21:4.
The
prophecy of Agabus. 21:11.
The
persuasion of Paul. 21:13-14.
Paul at Jerusalem. 21:17-22.
Received by
the brethren. 21:17-22.
There is no
evidence that James and the other leaders opposed Paul. See B-D. 946 to 948.
Rite of
conciliation. 21:23-26.
Paul was ready
to do much to conciliate people. (see
1.Cor.9:20).
The wrath
of the Jews. 21:27-31.
Religious
zeal can be a murderous fanaticism.
Rescued by
the Roman soldiers. See reference to, Tower of Antonia,
B-D. 616.
The
situation was completely changed when the captain discovered that Paul was a Roman citizen. Does claim to citizenship constitute
citizen-responsibilities?
The request
to address the people. 21:37-40.
Paul spoke
in Hebrew or Aramaic in an effort to make a favourable impression upon them.
