Acts 23 

1.   Who was Ananias, and why did he order Shaul struck in the mouth?

 

2.    Why did Shaul object to the blow; and why did Shaul now apologize for his response and words to the Kohen Gadol?

 

3.   What were the main differences between the Pharisees and the Sadducees and how did Shaul exploit them to his own agenda and benefit?

4.   Now we learn of a new plot to murder Shaul, who formed the plot, how many were there, and what did they vow to do or not to do?

5.   Who now intercepts the plot, how is his identity significant; and what does he do to save Shaul?

 

6.   Why did the commander now make orders to move Shaul to Caesarea for Felix at “night”, with 200 soldiers?

 

7.   Why did the commander now write a letter to Felix and require his accusers to testify before Felix, and why did the commander not accompany Shaul himself?

8.   Why did the soldiers escorting Shaul stop at Adipatris? And what technical difficulty did Shaul’s native province of Cilicia pose to Felix and did he seem to want to try this case in the first place?
