They left the room and began to talk with one another.“ Why should this man die or be put in prison?” they said.“ He has done nothing worthy of that!”

But this is about your own law. It is a question of words and names. Settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”

I have found that he hasn’t done anything worthy of death. But he made his appeal to the Emperor. So I decided to send him to Rome.

They questioned me. And they wanted to let me go. They saw I wasn’t guilty of any crime worthy of death.

Paul knew that some of them were Sadducees and the others were Pharisees. So he called out to the members of the Sanhedrin.“ My brothers,” he said,“ I am a Pharisee. I come from a family of Pharisees. I believe that people will rise from the dead. That’s why I am on trial.”When he said this, the Pharisees and the Sadducees started to argue. They began to take sides.The Sadducees say that people will not rise from the dead. They don’t believe there are angels or spirits either. But the Pharisees believe all these things.People were causing trouble and making a lot of noise. Some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up. They argued strongly.“ We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said.“ What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

Instead, they argued with him about their own beliefs. They didn’t agree about a man named Jesus. They said Jesus was dead, but Paul claimed Jesus was alive.I had no idea how to look into such matters. So I asked Paul if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem. There he could be tried on these charges.

When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many strong charges against him. But they couldn’t prove that these charges were true.Then Paul spoke up for himself. He said,“ I’ve done nothing wrong against the law of the Jews or against the temple. I’ve done nothing wrong against Caesar.”

“ We have found that Paul is a troublemaker. This man stirs up trouble among Jews all over the world. He is a leader of those who follow Jesus of Nazareth.He even tried to make our temple impure. So we arrested him.

If I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I’m willing to die. But the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true. No one has the right to hand me over to them. I make my appeal to Caesar!”

The governor motioned for Paul to speak. Paul said,“ I know that you have been a judge over this nation for quite a few years. So I am glad to explain my actions to you.About 12 days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. You can easily check on this.Those bringing charges against me did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple. I wasn’t stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.They can’t prove to you any of the charges they are making against me.It is true that I worship the God of our people. I am a follower of the Way of Jesus. Those bringing charges against me call it a cult. I believe everything that is in keeping with the Law. I believe everything that is in keeping with what is written in the Prophets.I have the same hope in God that these men themselves have. I believe that both the godly and the ungodly will rise from the dead.So I always try not to do anything wrong in the eyes of God or in the eyes of people.“ I was away for several years. Then I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for those who were poor. I also came to offer sacrifices.They found me doing this in the temple courtyard. I had already been made pure and‘ clean’ in the usual way. There was no crowd with me. I didn’t stir up any trouble.But there are some other Jews who should be here in front of you. They are from Asia Minor. They should bring charges if they have anything against me.Let the Jews who are here tell you what crime I am guilty of. After all, I was put on trial by the Sanhedrin.Perhaps they blame me for what I said when I was on trial. I shouted,‘ I believe that people will rise from the dead. That is why I am on trial here today.’ ”
