THE NEW TESTAMENT
ACTS 23 - RESEARCH STUDY GUIDE
Acts 23:1-5 Paul Is Smitten on the mouth by command of the High Priest Ananias
Acts 23:6-8 Paul uses intelligence to focus the argument away from himself. Paul claims heritage as a Pharisee. The Pharisees believe in the hope and Resurrection of the dead, Sadducees not.
Acts 23: 9-10 The Pharisees decide Paul is not evil and could be with a spirit, and they do not wish to fight God. Paul taken by force to the Castle for protection.
Acts 23:11 The Lord tells Paul to bear witness of him in Rome.
Acts 23: 12-15 The Jews tell the chief priests and elders they have sworn to kill Paul if he comes near.
Acts 23:16-22 Paul's sister's son hears of their plot to kill Paul, and tells Paul, Paul tells a Centurion, who tells the chief captain, who speaks to the son of Paul's sister about the plot. The chief captain says tell no one what you told me.
Acts 23:22-30 The chief captain arranges for Paul to go safely to Caesarea, accompanied by a small army. He writes a letter to Felix the governor. But it's not what it seems. The Chief Captain – Claudius Lysias is passing the prisoner along, much in the way Jesus was passed to Herod.
Acts 23:31-35 Ironically, Paul has been taken to Governor Felix in Caesarea, and is waiting in Herod's Judgment hall for his accusers who have been called to appear.

Acts 23:1-5 Paul Is Smitten on the mouth by command of the High Priest Ananias
1: And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2: And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3: Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4: And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
5: Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Exodus 22:28
28: Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

Acts 23:6-8 Paul uses intelligence to focus the argument away from himself. Paul claims heritage as a Pharisee. The Pharisees believe in the hope and Resurrection of the dead, Sadducees not.
6: But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7: And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8: For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Acts 23: 9-10 The Pharisees decide Paul is not evil and could be with a spirit, and they do not wish to fight God. Paul taken by force to the castle, for protection.
9: And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10: And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
Acts 23:11 The Lord tells Paul to bear witness of him in Rome.
11: And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Acts 23: 12-15 The Jews tell the chief priests and elders they have sworn to kill Paul if he comes near
12: And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13: And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14: And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15: Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
Acts 23:16-22 Paul's sister's son hears of their plot to kill Paul, and tells Paul, Paul tells a Centurion, who tells the chief captain, who speaks to the son of Paul's sister about the plot. The chief captain says tell no one what you told me.
16: And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17: Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18: So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19: Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20: And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21: But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22: So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
Acts 23:22-30 The chief captain arranges for Paul to go safely to Caesarea, accompanied by a small army. He writes a letter to Felix the governor. But it's not what it seems. The Chief Captain – Claudius Lysias is passing the prisoner along, much in the way Jesus was passed to Herod.
23: And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24: And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25: And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26: Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27: This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28: And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29: Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30: And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
Acts 23:31-35 Ironically, Paul has been taken to Governor Felix in Caesarea, and is waiting in Herod's Judgment hall for his accusers who have been called to appear.
31: Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32: On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33: Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34: And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35: I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

Vision: Peter Or Paul In Rome
I had a vision impression. I felt it was Peter though, for his build and hair matched what they have told us in the Bible. I saw him as he was either arriving, or leaving Rome.
