Acts 27
03/25/21 • 9 min
The action in Acts picks up again as Paul shipped off with other prisoners to Italy, where he hopes to meet with Caesar. Luke is still accompanying Paul on the journey, as indicated by the use first person plural. Paul tells the captain of the guard that the voyage is headed toward disaster, but he pays him no mind. As they travel, the winds pick up and begin to make the seas unnavigable. Tossing out valuable cargo along the way and exhausting themselves with the work of staying afloat, Paul finally tells them that will survive, but the ship will not make the journey. They take his advice and everyone reaches the shore without loss of life.

Previous Episode
Acts 26
On today’s episode, Paul gives his defense before Porcius Festus, the newly appointed governor, as well as before his two guests: King Agrippa and his wife Bernice. Recall that Paul has been imprisoned under house arrest for over two years, and recently appealed to Caesar, so that he might make his case before him and not return to the Jewish mob in Jerusalem. Part of Paul’s testimony includes the vision of Christ he saw on the road to Damascus. At this, Festus mocks Paul, but Paul takes it on the chin and continues to try and persuade King Agrippa to submit to King Jesus.

Next Episode
Acts 28
Well today is our last episode in the book of Acts, and as this book concludes, we see Paul continue to contend for the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all. He has presented the good news of Jesus to kings, noblemen, soldiers, Jews, Greeks, and yes, even angry mobs who would like to see him dead. Paul has little regard for his own life or comforts, but instead, seeks to preach Christ no matter the cost. In our episode, Paul and the crew escorting him were shipwrecked, and today we see the Lord’s provision for them as they recover and set out once again for Rome. Paul reaches his destination and continues to preach the Gospel to any who would listen.
