Paul is anxious to return to Yerushalayim for the feast of Shavuot (Pentecost), but on his way he receives dire warnings of what would face him when he gets there. The events that occur in Yerushalayim start the process of Paul’s journey to Rome.

Thought questions

PDF Download Acts 21:1-16 notes.

Where did the events of this chapter occur?

What is the “sense of impending doom” in this account? Was Paul disobeying the Lord by going to Yerushalayim at this time?

Was Paul waiting or delaying for a certain time?

What happened when he arrived in Yerushalayim??How was Paul’s loyalty to Yeshua tested? How were the prophets “trampled down”? How are we to prepare for persecution?

How do we “accurately handle the word of truth”? How is the word of God corrupted by “entertainment”? What is true wisdom and knowledge?
