The Ascension of Jesus

So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”

The Believers Pray for Courage

As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said.

But one day some men from the Synagogue of Freed Slaves, as it was called, started to debate with him. They were Jews from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia, and the province of Asia.

So the jailer told Paul, “The city officials have said you and Silas are free to leave. Go in peace.”

He ordered an officer to keep Paul in custody but to give him some freedom and allow his friends to visit him and take care of his needs.

And Agrippa said to Festus, “He could have been set free if he hadn’t appealed to Caesar.”
