Acts 22

Paul addresses the Jerusalem crowd in Hebrew and recounts his Jewish upbringing, zeal, persecution of Christians, and encounter with the risen Jesus on the Damascus road. He explains Ananias’s role, his baptism, and a later temple vision in which Jesus sends him far unto the Gentiles. The crowd listens until the Gentile mission is mentioned, then demands his death. The Roman commander prepares to scourge Paul until Paul asserts his Roman citizenship.
