Acts 22 summary points

  • v 1 to 21 Paul speaks to the crowd (who tried to kill him - chapter 21) and defends his preaching, explaining that he was once a zealous Jew violently opposed to those who followed Christ. He tells them about his life-changing conversion on the road to Damascus. He then relates his role in Stephen’s death and his commision from Jesus to preach to Gentiles (non-Jews)
  • v 22 and 23 The crowd listens to Paul until he mentions preaching to non-Jews. They become violent and want him killed
  • v 24 to 30 He is taken into the barracks by the Roman soldiers, but avoids being scourged by telling the centurion that he is a Roman citizen. On the next day he is brought before the Jewish council
