Reading for August 26th

 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 (23.29). Festus (23.25), and now by Felix with counsel from Herod Agrippa II. But neither is released. Comments or Questions..
