A group of forty men plotted to assassin Paul but his nephew heard and went to Paul and the Roman commander who quickly organised a large protection party to escort him to Caesarea to go Governor Felix because Paul was a Roman citizen and has to have a fair trial.

The story of Paul in Jerusalem is continued. Paul is allowed to address the crowd and tells the story of his conversion. The crowd listens and then rise up against him. The Romans imprison him and threaten punishment until Paul claims his Roman citizenship.

Paul and his companions met with James and other leaders of the church in Jerusalem. Paul was asked to perform a Jewish ritual to please those Jewish Christians who followed Jewish laws. In the Temple, Jews from Asia Minor stirred up a riot against Paul in which Roman soldiers intervened.
