[:en]Thoughts from Acts 21[:]

[:en]The people told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.  But he would not be persuaded because the burden of his life was to preach to the Gentiles (Eph. 3:1-13)  After 7 days of arrival at Jerusalem, some Jews stirred up the whole crowd and seized him.  They dragged him out from the temple and tried to kill him.  The commander came and arrested him.  Then Paul asked permission to speak to the crowd.  He gave his testimony of how he met Jesus while on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christians.  A bright light from heaven flashed around him and he became blind and was later healed by Ananias.[:]
