Events

1. Fill in the blank: When Paul was told he would be arrested if he went to Jerusalem, he replied, "I am ready not only to be bound, but also to --------- at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

2. One of the charges brought against Paul by the Jews when he came to Jerusalem  was that he taught against the Law of Moses. One specific thing they accused Paul  of was teaching believing  Jews  not to ---------- their children.

3. Multiple choice: When Paul was being led away by Roman soldiers to protect him from an angry Jewish mob, he asked permission to speak to those Jews gathered in Jerusalem. What language did he use to speak to the Roman commander? (a) Hebrew; (b) Greek; or (c) Latin.

 
 
1. "Die" (Acts 21:13).
 
2. Circumcise (Acts 21:21).  Paul did not teach this. In fact, he had Timothy circumcised so  he  would not be offensive to the Jews they attempted to evangelize (Acts 16:3).
 
3. (b) Greek (Acts 21:37). This  surprised  the commander because he thought that Paul was an Egyptian who had been the cause of earlier trouble.

Hi Patsy,
Late getting here tonight for the questions.
Family friend Mary is very low and I've been waiting on news from them.
We are having strong wind tonight and it's to be 20 in the a.m.
Hope you two are staying warm.
