He told the Jews he received a vision in the Temple in Jerusalem.
God appeared to him and told him to leave Jerusalem because the people would not accept his message.
God told Paul He would be sent to preach to the Gentiles.
PAUL ALMOST GETS FLOGGED BY THE ROMAN SOLDIERS (22:22-30):
When the Jews heard about Paul’s mission to the Gentiles, they got angry and started yelling for Paul to be taken away.
The tribune ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks and interrogated by flogging.
When Paul had been bound and “stretched out for the whips” he revealed that he was a Roman citizen.
The soldiers and tribune were shocked and worried to learn this because it was against the law to flog a Roman citizen.
The tribune released Paul and organized a meeting with the Jewish council and chief priests for the next day to try to ascertain the reason they were so upset with Paul.
