Questions on Acts 26 for Wednesday Bible Study
- In verse 6-7 Paul is saying that his hope lines up with what the tribes of Israel have continually hoped for. Why is Paul saying this in his defence before Agrippa? How would that help his court case?
- For what “hope of the promise made by God” is Paul being “judged” (vs. 6)? What did both he and Israel hope for?
- Why did Jesus say it’s hard for Saul to “kick against the goads” (vs. 14)? What do these words mean?
- Vs. 18. What is the “inheritance among those who are sanctified?”
- Is there a difference between repentance and turning to God? How will those who truly repent be distinguished from those who don’t (vs. 20)?
- Vs. 23-26. If someone asked you how you know that Christ rose from the dead, how should you answer that question?
- The literal Greek words in English of verse 28 are: “Then Agrippa to Paul: Within so little me do you persuade Christian to become.” Keep in mind that the Greek doesn’t have punctuation. Compare how the KJV and NKJV translate this verse with the ESV and NASB. Was Agrippa being serious or sarcastic when he said these words?
- Compare vs. 29 with vs. 2. What do you think Paul’s mood was during this whole time? How is that an example for us?
