Caesarea



Paul makes a defense before the high priest Ananias, Tertullus, and Jewish elders. Felix
postpones a decision until Lysias comes down (Acts 24).
Festus eventually replaces Felix as governor. When he goes up to Jerusalem, the chief priests
and leaders of the Jews bring charges against Paul and ask that he be brought to Jerusalem to
stand trial. Festus invites them to return to Caesarea, which they do, making their charges
against Paul there. When Paul is asked if he is willing to return to Jerusalem to face these
charges, he appeals to Caesar (Acts 25).
While Paul is still in Caesarea, King Agrippa of Chalcis and his wife Bernice arrive. Paul makes
another defense before Agrippa, Bernice, the Roman Commanders, and the prominent men of the
city. They conclude that he is not guilty of anything worthy of imprisonment (Acts 26).

The Pastoral Epistles


We have no record in Scripture of what
happened to Paul after his first Roman
imprisonment. It is probable that he was
released, made the trip to Spain, then returned
to the area around the Mediterranean.
He writes 1 Timothy from Macedonia.
He makes a visit to Crete and later writes Titus
to his co-laborer who remained there.
Sometime around 66 AD Paul is again arrested
and imprisoned in Rome. He writes 2 Timothy
during this imprisonment and is executed by
Nero shortly thereafter.
