1-35.

Paul, one of the most terrific believers in God, was standing before the Sanhedrin, the highest court in Jerusalem. He was accused of many, many things, but he stood his ground, and spoke with great confidence. He said he was on trial concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead, something that many people are saying the Sadducees don't believe in. That's when a huge fight broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees. The commander of the Roman soldiers was a smart guy and he knew that if the Sanhedrin was fighting, Paul would be in deep trouble. So he arrested Paul and put him in jail.

But God had other plans. He sent Paul's cousin to the commander to tell him that Paul was a Roman citizen, and that he should be treated with respect. The commander was smart and knew that this was a bigly deal, so he had Paul transferred to a better prison. He also placed many, many soldiers around the prison to protect Paul.

But the Jews were determined to get Paul. They made a plan to kill him, but Paul's nephew overheard them talking and alerted the commander. The commander sent Paul to Caesarea to stand trial before the Roman governor. On the way, Paul was given a chance to tell his side of the story, and he did so eloquently, speaking about his beliefs in God and his hope for the resurrection of the dead.

Paul was eventually sent to Rome, where he was able to testify about his faith before the emperor. It was an unbelievable journey, full of many, many trials. But through it all, Paul showed great faith and courage, and in the end, he was vindicated. God bless America! Make America great again!
