Cheer Up!

Read the Story

Paul looked at the council and said he had lived before God with a good conscience. Paul said he was on trial for the hope that the dead will rise.

The council began to argue. The Pharisees believe in the resurrection, but the Sadducees do not. The argument grew so loud that the commander took Paul back to the barracks.

The next night the Lord stood by Paul. He told Paul to cheer up. As Paul had told about him in Jerusalem, he must tell about him in Rome too.

More than forty people made a plan to kill Paul. Paul's sister's son heard about it and told the commander. The commander sent Paul at night with many soldiers to Felix the governor in Caesarea.

Memory Verse
