Reading for June 10th

Read Acts 26.24-32
In verse 24: Paul's learning is Jewish scriptural interpretation (Mt 9.13).
In verses 26-27: Like Cornelius (10.28), King Agrippa could be expected to know this much about the prophetic tradition.
In verse 28: The question is whether he can be so quickly persuaded by Christian scriptural interpretation.
In verse 31: Like Jesus, who was declared innocent three times by Pilate with counsel (albeit absurd) from Herod Antipas I (Lk 23.4, 14.22), Paul is exonerated by Lysias (23.9), Festus (23.25), and now by Felix with counsel from Herod Antipas II.
But neither was released.
