Tertullus. perhaps a Roman ban-la
ter. formally made the accusation ac­
cording to Roman law. He began with
flattery
He gave Fell« the fullest
praise when he and all the people
knew that be lied; for Felix wae one
of the worst governor«— deatltute of
morale and Justice. He brought a four­
fold charge against Paul:
1. "A peetilent fellow" (v. 6). This
would Indicate a fellow utterly base
and corrupt—a plague.
2. An Inciter of rebellion, a mover of
«edition (v. 5).
Thia they hoped
would bring him Into conflict with tha
Roman power
8. That he we» the ringleader of a
nor In the synagogue.
3. The charge of heresy (w . 14 1ft).
This charge he met by a concession
and a denial. He admitted that he was
of the "W ay” which they called heresy,
but clearly showed that It waa In
keeping with the Hebrew religion: (1)
he worshiped the same Ood (v. 14) ;
(2) he fully believed In the same
Scriptures (v. 14); (3) he had the same
hope of a coming resurrection of the
dead (v. IB). He declared that he
made as the principle of life a con
science void of offense before Ood and
man.
4. The charge of sacrilege, or profs
nation of the temple (vv. 17-21). T ills
charge he refuted by showing (1) that
he had come all the way from Greece
(v. 17) to worship at the feast; (2)
that he had not come up empty-hand­
ed, but had brought alms for his na­
tion (v. 17); (3) that there were not
competent witnesses present to testify
as to his behavior In the temple (v.
19); by challenging his enemies to
testify as to his conduct In the council
(v. 20).
III. Paul Before Felix the Second
Timo (w . 22 27).
This Is a sort of a sequel to the
trial. Wicked as Felix was, Paul’s
manner somewhat won his favor
though he did not release him. His
sentence was Indulgent Imprisonment
which kept him free from his enemies
while under Roman protection. Felix
sent for Paul that he might hear of
Christ from him. Paul behaved him­
self aright before these sinners In high
life. He reasoned of righteousness,
self-control SDd Judgment to come, be­
fore Felix and hia sinful wife, with
such power that Felix waa terrified
and declared that be would hear Paul
further at a convenient lime. Thia was
a most flimsy excuse for not changing
his life and granting Justice to Paul.
He was so In bondage to sin that he
was unwilling to change.
