Acts 23 - Is there no hope?

Read Acts 23 by 11/01/2023

We’re in full swing with Paul declaring the good news of Jesus the Christ, the resurrection, and stirring up discussion between the different sects in Judaism.

“A good way to distinct the Sadducees from the Pharisees, is that the Sadducees don’t believe in the resurrection, nor angels, nor the spirit because they are…Sad-you-see!”

Consider and Review

Let’s change up the format this week. Instead of just providing links we’ve included questions with references.

Consider the following

What does it mean to call someone a “White washed wall?”

Where in the word is it written: “You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people?”

What are you thoughts in the narrative when the terms “Jews” is generalized when describing the accusers of Paul in verse 12? Consider… the NASB version: “the Jews formed a conspiracy” vs. “some Jewish accusers formed a conspiracy”. Does this change your perception on how you see Jewish people/the people of Israel?

In the same way in verse 14, (NASB) “They came to the chief priests and the elders…” vs. “They spoke with certain chief priests and elders that supported their view…”

In verse 16, it states that the son of Paul’s sister heard of the ambush. Are we to presume that he was traveling with Paul?
