In this programme, you heard important information about Paul’s missionary journeys in the cities of Miletus, Tyre, and Caesarea until Paul and his companions reached Jerusalem. During the journey to Jerusalem, some people kept asking Paul to refrain from going to Jerusalem, but Paul’s friends did not understand God’s will for Paul. Paul’s main purpose in going to Jerusalem was to deliver the donations that had been collected by the churches in the provinces of Antioch and Galatia. Paul hoped that by presenting these donations, unity and reconciliation would be established between Jewish and Gentile Christians. When Paul arrived in Jerusalem, as you heard, the Jews from Ephesus who had come to Jerusalem stirred up a riot in the city and arrested him on the false charge of defiling the temple. As the soldiers were taking Paul away, he asked the Roman soldiers to let him speak to the people.
