the rest of the prisoners were
turned over to the prison Of
ficer to be kept in the regular
prison. julius, the centurion,
had treated Paul with great
kindness during the entire voy-
age from Caesarea to Rome,
and it might have been
through his influence that
Paul obtained this kindness
when he reached Rome.
HE CONVERSES WITH
THE LEADING JEWS:
"And it came to pass, that
after three days Paul called
the chief of the Jews together:
and when they were come to-
gether, he said unto them, Men
and brethren, though l have
committed nothing against the
people, or customs of our faith
ers, yet was | delivered prison
er from Jerusalem mot the
hands of the Romans" = In
his initial interview with the
brethren who came to him,
Paul discussed with them how
he happened to be in Rome,
putting the whole blame upon
his own people the Jews. He
further affirmed that he was
innocent of anything that
might have justified his being
imprisoned and delivered into
the hands of the Romans.
''Who when they had examin-
ed me, would have let me
go, because there was no cause
of death in me" Paul did
not place any of the blame for
his Imprisonment upon Roman
authorities, but strictly upon
the Jews. According to his
testimony, the Romans would
have freed him, but the Jews
prevented it.

The Jews who first came
to him must have acted as
agents to get together a large

PauPs Interpretation of the
Scriptures concerning Christ.
Paups message was not only
one of information and inter-
probation, but also of persua-
sion; neither did he restrict
himself with regards to time,
but devoted the whole day to
the task of showing that Jesus
is Christ. "And some believed
the things which were spoken,

test as to what proportion of
the people present disbelieved
the gospel message. 1t is very
probable that those who did
believe eventually connected
themselves with the Christian
church in Rome which some
believed was not founded by
Paul.

"And Paul dwelt two whole
years In his own hired house,
and received all that came in
unto him" For two full
years Paul remained untried
and had liberty to hire or rent
his own living quarters and to
entertain whomsoever he wish
ed, more evidence of the pro-
Roman sentiment of the Book
of Acts. preaching the king

this was the only period of
ministry of two years duration
in which the apostle was al
lowed to preach undisturbed.

Christ and the kingdom was
being established.
"And they said unto him,
We neither received letters
out of Judaea concerning
thee, neither any of the breth-
rem that came showed or spake
any harm of thee" Con-
sequently, the reports which
did reach Rome from Judaea
concerning Paul did not &C
cuse him of any crime or any
sort of misconduct. AS mat
ter of fact, the brethren stated
that they had received no writ
ten report at all. "But we
desire to hear of thee what
thou thinkeSt: for as concern
ing this sect, we know that
everywhere it is spoken a.

some echoes about the Chris
tian movement, but nothing
full and comprehensive. and
what they had heard was un-
favorable they wanted to hear
Paul for themselves to form
their own conclusion.
