We continue to see the unjust persecution of Paul in this chapter.

How can any power structure justly eliminate the good Christians brings to society?

Disciples of Christ, by their very nature, bring improvement to the cultures in which they minister. Therefore trial of the brethren must rely on lies, falsified evidence, and illegitimate witnesses.

Just as God takes action in perfect harmony with His character, performing His works in holiness, justice, love, and grace; the enemy operates in an equally authentic fashion. He was a liar from the beginning, ever seeking to undermine the honest, true, and righteous working of God.

Acts 25:7 “And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.”
