In his last, powerful sermon in the book of Acts, Paul retells his encounter on the road to Damascus (with a key detail not mentioned in previous accounts of his conversion in Acts 9 and 22), connects the Old Testament prophets to the gospel of Christ, and turns from prisoner to prosecutor as he questions Herod Agrippa II about his belief in Jesus. As one commentator put it, the “king of the Jews…hear[d] about the King of the Jews.” There is much to learn here about personal evangelism, boldness, belonging, and God’s providence as Paul takes the gospel from Jerusalem to Rome.
