Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation.

Discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today, it is day 346.

We're reading Acts of the Apostles, chapter 25, only four chapters to go, including chapter 25, as well as Galatians, St.

Paul's letter to the Galatians, chapters 4, 5, and 6.

The conclusion, only in two parts do we get Galatians 1 through 3 yesterday and 4, 5, and 6 today.

And we're also reading Proverbs chapter 29, verses 15 through 17.

As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition.

I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 25.

Paul appeals to Caesar.

Now, when Festus had come into his province after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him, asking as a favor, to have the man sent to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

So said he, Let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him.

When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

And when he had come, the Jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove.

Paul said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all.
