"To think he used to be one of us!" "Let's keep to the matter at hand." "Where is Paul now?" "Galatia." "They say he even preaches to the Gentiles, and many believe his word." "Let him have the Gentiles!" "But he teaches that they are also a chosen people!" "Blasphemy!" "This is what I say:" "Paul is a threat to our nation." "The Christians are growing far too fast." "If we are to survive, we must put an end to Paul." "I'll sail for Galatia tomorrow!" "No." "Paul will return to Jerusalem soon enough, and when he does, he will never leave again!" "You're Paul, aren't you?" "In the name of Jesus, rise and walk." "I..." "I can...!" "God keep you, friend." "Good night." "Who's there?" "You've preached your final blasphemy!" "I found him!" "He's over here!" "Is he all right?" "I don't know." "Paul!" "Is he dead?" "Paul, don't leave us." "Paul?" "Wait!" "Paul?" "Let's get him inside and clean his wounds." "I'm fine." "Let me do it myself." "No, I want them to see." "I want them to know that the word of God does not break and cannot die." "This is how we deal with Christians who come to this city and cause a riot." "Again." "Again!" "I trust we understand each other now." "Take them to prison." "Silas, are you all right?" "I'm all right." "I'm sorry I've led you into this." "I would suffer anything for Jesus..." "you know that, Paul." "Let's leave this place." "I haven't the strength to stand, let alone break these bonds and escape." "Have you the strength to sing?" "( song) Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Holy name." "Thy Kingdom come;" "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. ( end song)" "Oh, no!" "No!" "They've escaped?" "!" "The magistrate will have me tortured to death!" "Do thyself no harm." "We are all here." "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" "Believe in the Lord, Jesus." "You say you are a Jew, and yet you preach against the Law of Moses." "I do not preach against the law." "I say the law has been fulfilled." "Because of this Jesus?" "And now you tell the Gentiles that they will inherit our blessings!" "I was once like you... zealous for the law..." "I hated the Christians." "I stood by and held the coats of those who stoned the martyr, Stephen." "Stephen was no martyr!" "Listen to me!" "Those who die for Jesus deserve it!" "Please!" "Jesus was no prophet; he was a deceiver!" "No!" "He is our Savior." "He was a devil!" "You can break and bruise my body, but I will not hear you misuse the name of Jesus!" "I am clean." "From henceforth, I preach to the gentiles only!" "You know my life means nothing to me, Lord." "If I should die for thee, I would count myself blessed." "But how can I make these people see the truth?" "Comfort me... comfort me and show me the way, oh Lord." "Be not afraid, Paul, but speak." "I am with thee, and no man shall harm you here, for there are many souls who need thee." "( song) I'll witness for Jesus;" "I'll stand at His side." "I'll speak the sweet name of my Lord, crucified." "I'll witness for Jesus;" "my voice won't be stilled 'til Christ's Kingdom comes and His mission fulfilled." "Witness for Jesus." "Speak His word." "Tell of His grace and glory." "Witness for Jesus, sing His name." "Tell all the world His story." "I'll witness for Jesus;" "my voice won't be stilled 'til Christ's Kingdom comes and His mission fulfilled. ( end song)" "This is a fine farewell, but all these gifts will surely sink this ship." "Remember me well, brethren, for I shall always remember you." "Will we see you again?" "God willing." "Tell us true, Paul." "Will we see you again?" "No, but you've been taught the truth and have the Holy Ghost for your guide now." "God bless you and keep the faith, my friends." "Why must we sail to Jerusalem, Paul?" "There's danger for you there;" "I feel it." "So do I, Luke." "But the spirit urges me to go." "I am ready to die for the gospel of Jesus, Luke." "But I also know that no one can take me before my time." "Stop it!" "You're killing him!" "Paul!" "Paul!" "You're lucky I came when I did." "You take too much credit, Captain." "It was God who saved my life today." "And He will rescue me time and time again until my work is done." "We have bound ourselves with an oath, Ananias." "Hm, say on." "We will not eat or drink until Paul is dead." "swearing an oath is a simple thing, but do you have a plan?" "We do." "Tell the Captain of the Romans to bring Paul down tomorrow." "Say we wish to question him further according to our law." "The moment he arrives we'll rush forward and put an end to Paul." "Suppose the Captain comes with soldiers." "Two is not enough to carry out this deed." "Ananias, there are forty of us who have sworn this oath, and forty men to do the deed." "So, let it be done." "Spies!" "After them!" "Your nephew is a brave soul." "Roman law does not allow me to set you free, Paul, but it does allow me to keep you from harm." "Send me 200 soldiers, 200 spear-men, and 70 horsemen to take Paul safely to Caeserea." "It looks as if you've been saved again, Paul." "God uses good men to work His miracles, Captain... even a Roman." "(laughing)" "Paul must be put to death!" "What has he done that is worthy of death?" "The same things for which you crucified Jesus:" "blasphemy against our law and treason against yours!" "I have done none of these things." "The truth is that I preach Jesus risen from the dead." "This alone angers them to violence." "You blaspheme!" "He brought a gentile into the temple!" "Away with him!" "Liar!" "Quiet... quiet!" "This has nothing to do with Roman law!" "This is a Jewish matter." "I'm sending you back to Jerusalem." "Then I appeal unto Rome." "If I were guilty I would gladly die, but I am not guilty." "As a citizen of Rome, I demand to be heard by Caesar." "I'm at my wit's end, Agrippa." "I can't make heads or tails of this religious nonsense." "How can I send Paul to Caesar when I don't understand the charge?" "I know you're not a practicing Jew, but you listen to him... tell me what you think." "It should be amusing if nothing else." "They tell me you teach a strange and dangerous doctrine." "I preach the words of Jesus." "Surely there must be an easier road." "Why do you do it?" "Hear me, King Agrippa, I beseech you;" "and know the things I say are true." "I was once known as Saul among the Jews." "I spent my life in pursuit of those who believed in Jesus." "I thrust them into prison and stood idly by while they were put to death." "But as I traveled to Damascus one day to carry out my persecutions, a light from the heavens, brighter than the sun descended upon me and my companions." "As we fell to earth, I heard a voice say, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"" "It was Jesus, the risen Lord, oh King." "And from that moment I was made blind." "And He commanded me to travel on to Damascus." "And there, as I lay in the shadow of death," "I saw a holy man in a vision who later came to me and blessed me saying, "Brother Saul, receive thy sight."" "And he commanded me to rise and preach." "And from that day to this, oh King, I have been obedient to that Holy vision." "My doctrine is not dangerous;" "my doctrine is not strange, for all that I have said, Moses and the prophets have said before me... that Christ should suffer, die, and rise from the dead." ""Rise from the dead," what did I tell you?" "You're mad, Paul." "The man is mad!" "You have nearly persuaded me to become a Christian." "This man has done nothing wrong." "Very well, you wish to be tried in Rome, on to Rome you shall go." "Once in Rome, Paul was imprisoned, released, and imprisoned again, but he never abandoned his ministry." "From his cell came these written words of love," ""Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving, even as God has forgiven you."" "And this, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."" "And finally, having been sentenced to death by Nero, the Roman Emperor," "Paul wrote this:" ""I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." "I have fought a good fight;" "I have finished my course;" "I have kept the faith." "May the Lord Jesus Christ and His grace be with you." "Amen.""
