Paul's Testimony/ Acts 22 Questions for Discussion and Reflection

Under protection of the Roman tribune Paul asks permission to speak to the people. (Acts 21:39) He uses this opportunity to share with the crowd his testimony-- the story of his encounter with Christ. His testimony divides into three sections: (1) His conduct before Christ. (2) His conversion to Christ. (3) His changed character with Christ.Read Acts 22:3-5.

Read Acts 22:17-21. What changes do you observe in Paul’s character?                                                                                                                       
Luke mentions that when Paul began speaking to the crowd “he addressed them in the Hebrew language.” (Acts 21:40) Why is this significant?
