To study Acts 26 in a group
1. What it says
What does Paul tell King Agrippa about his earlier life and what Jesus said to him? (vv. 4-18)
2. What it means
Paul says he only repeats what the prophets and Moses said would happen (vv. 22-23). How does he connect his story with Israel's hope?
3. How I live it
Paul wishes the best for those who judge him (v. 29). How can you treat kindly someone who does not think as you do?
