So here we are in Acts of the Apostles, chapter 25.

We have Paul appealing to Caesar.

He already kind of threw that out there that he was going to, you know, he's a Roman citizen and he was going to appeal to Caesar.

So he does this and he's brought before the king, King Agrippa.

And tomorrow we're going to hear about how St.

Paul testified and gave his witness, his testimony to King Agrippa and Bernice and was able to basically tell the truth, tell the gospel, share the gospel with the King Agrippa.

But when it comes to St.

Paul's letter to the Galatians, the second half, right?

Yesterday we read chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Today is chapters 4, 5, and 6.

And we concluded the letter of St.

Paul to the Galatians.

We remember the context for his letter.

The context is the Judaizers, right?

Those people who came in and were basically telling the Christians, the new Christians that...

Yeah, you need to be circumcised.

You need to follow the law in order to have the fullness of God's spirit, the fullness of the new covenant.

And here's Paul, and he is ticked off.

St.

Paul is, he is upset.
