Religious persecution based upon ra- ci-? prejudices and differances in ritual- is¥c practices has been throughout all ih:s:ory tha strongest and most relent- | less foe of human progress. Paul faced it on his last and final visit to Jerusa- |lem. Our lesson is based upon the dra- | matic events that occurred in the tem- ple, when the apostle to the Gentiles reached the climax of his ministry. He learned when h2 reached Jerusalem that, due to false reports of his work ington.

A tablet taken from the ruins of this temple is in a museum in Con- stantinople. It contains the law pre- scribing the penalty of death. It is a serious otfense even today in the East, as the writer learned, when he entered for the first time a Mohammedan mosque without securing a pair of slip- | pers, made of burlap or matting, to be | worn over his shoes, so that he would | not defile their sacred place of worship. | The excitment in that mosque and their threatening attitude caused him to beat a quick retreat. The disturbance caused by the shouting within the temple brought Claudius Lysias to the scene with a detachment of Roman soldiers, who immediately arrested Paul and started to take him to the guardhouse. | Lysias for some reason took the apostle to be a prominent Egyptian Jew, who had, a short time before, tried to start a revolutionary movement against Rome, so he was surprised at the cultured re- quest of his prisoner for the privilege of addressing the mob. The Castle Stairway Defense. Paul proved his powers as an orator, when he silenced the mob that had in their blind fury of prejudice and passion revealed a spirit of hatred and persecu- tion, by his eloquent defense that gripped them as he recalled his Jewish and Jerusalem life in their native speech. They were surprised by his use of the Aramaic, and listened attentively to his address. ‘There are three points in the defense. Under the first Paul pointed out that there was no original difference between his hearers and himself, because he was a Jew by birth. While born in a for- eign land, he was educated in Jerusalem by one of its foremost teachers and was reared according strictest laws of the fathers. He had been in his early days as zealous for the law and as entagonistic to the “way” of Christ as his hearers were then. Hav- ing shown that in blood, education and religious faith he had held the same opinion as they did, he then sought to prove that the differences in their posi- tion was due to God's personal dealing with him. He took up his conversion, calling upon his companions to verify his statoments concerning that experi- ence. He pointed out that Ananias, who was his helper and guide, was “a devout man, according to the law,” and not only so, but that h2 was of “good report” of all the Jews in . This good man had per- formed a miracle upon him by the restoration of his sight, which proved that he was a messenger of God, as he claimed to he, havirg informed Paul that Jehovah desired him to “make “known His will” to all men. Under his persausion the apostle had been baptized. ptized. After his experience of conversion and baptism Paul desired to return to Jeru- salem to take up his ministry in the holy city and among the friends he loved, but he assured them that it was right_there in that very temple that God had appeared unto him and made clear to the apostle that he should leave Jerusalem. He hesitated and argued with Jehovah when the divine orders were issued for him in a decisive manner saying to Paul, “Depart, for I will send thee unto the Gentiles.” His defense was complete and his argu. ment was unanswerable. But the mo- ment he referred to the Gentiles the “fanatical rage” of religious and racial antagonism broke forth. Paul heard the same cries that had preceded the death of Stephen, when he was taking an active part in the death of the first martyr. Although the mob revered the temple area there is no question but that they wouid have slain Paul without the temple gates if it were not for the intervention of the Roman army. Roman Army Intervenes. ‘The uproar brought the Temple guard, who saved. the apostle's life. ‘Thus for the third time Paul's life was saved by the intervention of the civil power. The captain of the guard assumed that Paul was some criminal and ordered him chained and proceed- ed to cbtain information from the man- acled prisoner by the use of scourging in his chains. He sang God's praises and faced with courage the difficulties of the hour. When he asked the soldiers if it was lawful for them to beat a Roman uncondemned, the apostle was within his rights as a Roman citizen. to the juniors on “Bolts and Hinges.” PAUL—THE This question marked & turning point ROMAN CITIZEN (5 AN en Rl was rescued From the mob in erusalem, he asked Claudius Lysias, it was near the close of the appointed | time for their completion of their re-| to force a confession.

Heretofore prisons were incidental in his life, but henceforth liberty was to be the incidental thing in his life. The centurian knowing that any of- ficer guilty of scouring a Roman with- out a trial was in danger of losing his own life, quickly reported the claim of the stranga prisoner whose address on the castle steps they had not under- stood, to his superior officer. Imme- diately he started to investigate the man’s claim, as he had such a high regard for the privileges of Roman citizenship that he had purchased it with a great price. He was surprised to learn that the apparently poor pris- oner was a Roman by birth and a man of ‘the highest culture. It meant much to Paul, for it sccured for him every possible_consideration and ample pro- tection from those who would have de- stroyed his life. | The world is full of religious preju- | dice and at any moment its frenzy pas- sion may break out in religious perse- cution.

PAUL—THE ROMAN CITIZEN, Questions. 1. What “request did Paul make of Claudius Lysias after his rescue from the mob in Jerusalem? 2. What resulted when Paul sought to | address the rabble? 3. How did Claudius Lysias interpret the demonstration? 4. What action did the Roman com- mander take? 5. How did Paul accept the prepara- tions for flagellation? 6. What defense was the fact that Paul was a Roman citizen? 7. How was it received? 8. Was Paul freed by the Roman officer? 9. Why did Claudius Lysias keep Paul | in chains? 10. Where was he imprisoned? Answers. 1. Paul asked permission of the Roman commander to address the mob and offer a defense for himself. 2. The rabble would not listen to Paul. They demanded his death and the rioting increased. 3. Not being able to understand the tongue in which Paul spoke, the Roman commander believed that his prisoner was inciting the mob. 4. The commander ordered Paul taken Into the castle and scourged. 5. When Paul was being bound pre- vious to being flogged he announced that he was a Roman citizen. 6. To claim falsely to be a Roman citizen was punishable by death. There- fore, the officer accepted the state- ment. It was against the Porcian law to scourge a Roman citizen. 7. They questioned Paul as to how he obtained the rights of Roman citizen- ship. The citizenship was his by birth, since his father was a Roman citizen and the privilege descended from father to son. 8. Paul was not freed by Claudius Lysias. The officer feared the prisoner ‘might have committed some offense against the state. It was not contrary to law to keep a Roman in chains, so the officer solved the problem by hold- ing the missionary prisoner. 9. He hoped to quiet the mob, solve the situation and make sure that no offense had been committed against the state. 10. The Tower of Antonia “ABRAHAM” IS SUBJECT.
