Jewish anger, which had been steadily growing‘ against one whom they supposed to be: the betrayer of the nation, came to & head, and Paul was seized and mughâ€"l ll handed by an incited mu:titude, rom whom he was only saved by inâ€" tervention of the Roman garrison. It must be remembered that Jewish naâ€" tional fecling against the Roman govâ€" ernment was rising St“dniiiyé The ’Jews, mis‘ed by fanatical leaders, had drifted irrevocably on to the course which little more than ten years later brought about the fatal rebezion in which Jerusaem went down in bliood and slaughter. To such people, bent Ion recovering the old national indeâ€" pendence of Judza, the very existence of Paul was abhorrent. tgg declaring that the law was abrogated in Christ, and that the o:d barrier between the Jews and the Gentiles had been taken down, he was held to be a traitor who had signed away the national hope. November 15. Paul‘s Arrest In Jeruâ€" salem, Acts 21: 17 to 22: 30. Golden Textâ€"If any man suffer as a Chirsâ€" tian, let him not be ashamed.â€"1 Peter 4: 16. Consequentiy, we understand the naâ€" ture ot} the attack now made on him and in our study of the lesson we shatl have to attend to the details of the national indictment. V. 27. Paul on arriving at Jeruâ€" salem â€" had, in conversation with James, the president of the Jewish church, learaned that there were many Jewish Christians who were out of sympathy with his teaching regarding the Law and the institutions of Moses, and James urged him to correct their misunderstandings, Acts 21: 17â€"26. Needless to say, however, it was not from these Jewish Christians, but from the nonâ€"Christian nationalists that the attack upon his life now proâ€" ceeded. The signal came from certain Jews who had observed Paul in Asia. Secing him in the temple, they immeâ€" diately incited the mob to seize him and bring him to account. _ _ i V. 28. The cry is spread that the national hope le’Yn danger. They have found in the very temple the renogade who for years has been underminingi the cause of the Jewish people. First, he has spoken against the people by his monstrous assertion that God has given his kingdom to the Gentiles. Secondiy, he has spoken against the Law by declaring that it has been reâ€" pealed through Christ. Thirdly, he has defamed the place, that is, the temple, by saying that it will pase away, and that Christian believers are the true temple of God. As the Jews bejeved that God intended his kingâ€" dom only for themselves, and only upon condition of their keepin‘z the Law, and as they further believed that, when God came to set up his kingdom, he wou‘d suddenly appear in his temple (Malachi 3:1), it can be seen that the charge against St. Paul was a very serious one in nonâ€" Christian Jewish eyes. And as if all this was not enough, they now rake up the charge that Paul had introâ€" duced Greeks into the inner court of the temple, and so defiled it. This, if true, was an offence punishable with death. V. 29. It.is apparent, however, that the last charge was quite untrue. The accusers had seen Paul, accompanied by Trophimus the Ephesian, in the streets, and they imagined that he must have taken him into the temple. Inscriptions, placed all along the wall between the outer and the inner court of the temple, forbade any Gentile to advance into the inner court upon pain of death. One of these inscripâ€" tions has been discovered in recent Vs. 30â€"36. The effect of all these charges upon a populace seething with national indignation was indescribâ€" able. Paul: was rushed out of the tempie, the doors behind him being immediately locked, and the apostle was on the point of being murdered by the mob, when the captain of the Roman guard located in the â€"fortress of Antonia, just north of the temp‘eâ€" area, got word of the riot and promptâ€" ly arrived on the scene. His appearâ€" ance with a troop of soldiers and offiâ€" cers at his back imposed a check on the rioters, and they stopped beating Paul Unable to find out from the contradictory cries of the mob who Paul was and what was his offence, the captain of the guard thought it best to take him into custody. But so extreme was the popular vio.ence that when they came to the steps leading up to the barracks at tho Antonia fortress, Paul had to be. liftgd .bo'dily by th safety. Vs. 37, 39. And hore a surprise was in store for the captain. Paul had asked permission to speak to the peoâ€" pe. The captain, before granting it, was led to ask Paul if he was not the Egyptian who, some years before, had headed a popular rising against the government. Paul replied proudiy: "No, I am a Jew, a native of Tarsus in Cilicia, a burgess of a very famous city." This was enough for the capâ€" tain of the guard, and he gave perâ€" mission accordingly. The "Egyptian" in question was a false prophet who induced thousands, belonging to the Jewish . antiâ€"Roman _ organization known as the Sicarii or Assassinsâ€" hence "murderers," as they are here calledâ€"to folJow him into the widerâ€" ness, promising that if they would join him in a march on Jerusalem, the walls would fa‘.l down before them. The insurrection was crushed by Felix and the ringlcadar fied. Hence the captain‘s question."
