Paul on Trial

After three long journeys around the Mediterranean, Paul returned to Jerusalem to give a report to James and the elders about the spread of the Gospel among the nations. Regardless of his success, Paul was promptly accused of drummed-up charges by the Jewish authorities. To avoid a riot and possible execution in Jerusalem, Roman soldiers intervened and took custody of Paul, moving him to the coastal city of Caesarea.
