Hello everyone. Thanks for listening to Come Follow Me Insights with Taylor and Tyler presented by Scripture Central.

We use a lot of visuals in our videos, so if you want to see the visuals, we invite you to find us on YouTube.

Thanks for listening and enjoy.

I'm Taylor. And I'm Tyler. This is Scripture Central's Come Follow Me Insights this week, Acts 22 through 28.

So as we jump into today's lesson, we actually need to go back to chapter 21 and

pick up a couple of items that we didn't get to in the last lesson that actually fit

beautifully with these chapters that we're covering today. So if you look at the Paul's third missionary

journey map, it shows you as he finishes that mission and comes into the coastline, that

eastern Mediterranean coastline, that's where the beginning part of chapter 21 picks up

the story.

And it gets these stories where he meets again with Philip, we saw him earlier, he is

one of the seven who was called, and also a man named Agabus.

And there seems to be all these instances where people are trying to convey to Paul that

they have felt the inspiration that he should not go up to Jerusalem. But Paul

will not be dissuaded.

Yeah, he's not dissuaded. You'll see this pattern over in verse four. There's a group

of disciples who urge him not to go to Jerusalem. In verse 12, when we heard these things, the

prophecy of Agabus in verse 10 and 11, that whoever

owns this girdle is going to be bound, and they all know that's Paul's okay. So we have these

foreboding feelings. And then it says in verse 12, when we heard these things, notice the we,

Luke would be included in that mix now.

Both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
