Acts 25

Theme of chapter: Festus becomes governor after Felix. The Jews still seek to kill Paul, but he appeals to Caesar. King Agrippa comes to town to greet the new governor, while there he asks for an audience to hear Paul.

Most important verse: Acts 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

Most prominent word: superstition (religion)

Teaching about Christ: Jesus died on the cross, and was resurrected by the Father.

Command to obey: Respect the offices of the government that rule over you.

Promise to claim: God's promises are iron clad.

New truth learned: Jesus had told Paul he would present the gospel before kings, and he is now doing that. Given an audience with King Agrippa and his subjects, Paul is given a great platform to deliver the gospel message.
