Acts 26:1-32 - Corps Notes - January 11, 1977
Acts 26:1-32 January 11, 1977 Acts 26:1 Now Agrippa takes over. And I can understand this because Agrippa was a king, Festus was just a governor, and because he had him brought in front of the king, therefore the king took the liberty to tell Paul that he should speak. “Stretched forth the hand” - had to be his right one because he was handcuffed with his left. Stretching forth the hand is the same as I would say, “ladies and gentlemen.” Acts 26:2 “all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews” - in other words, the stuff they had said about him. Acts 26:3 That was right, because King Agrippa II was well informed about all Jewish customs, Jewish laws, because he was one.

I’m not saying he was in Jerusalem all the time, he could have gone back to Tarsus too, but he was in the process of education for all of those years. I believe he was a member of the Sanhedrin, when he cast his vote. I think that comes up in here someplace, doesn’t it? Where he cast his vote, because he’s going to tell about Damascus. Does it come up in here? (Yes) O.K. Remind me of it when we get there, in case I forget. I’ll tell you how he did it. To be a member of the Sanhedrin, he had to be 30 or older, and he had to be married, and the father of a child. So this manner of life that he is talking about was absolutely known in the city of Jerusalem by both the Sadducees and Ph
