Actes 28.17

Si Paul avait été libre, il se serait rendu auprès de ces principaux des Juifs (présidents de synagogue, etc.), et il leur aurait annoncé l'Evangile dans leurs assemblées.

Prisonnier, il doit les prier de venir auprès de lui pour entrer en relation avec eux, selon son grand principe de s'adresser tout d'abord à son peuple. (Actes 13.5,14, notes ; Romains 1.16)

Quant à ce premier discours de l'apôtre, il est naturel qu'il ait un caractère apologétique. Arrivant à Rome prisonnier, ce seul fait pouvait le rendre fort suspect aux yeux de ses concitoyens Juifs ; en outre, ceux-ci pouvaient avoir reçu de Jérusalem des rapports faux à son sujet. (verset 21)

Il lui importait donc de gagner confiance, afin de pouvoir leur faire du bien. C'est à cela que tendent les paroles suivantes.

- Cette première entrevue avec les Juifs eut lieu trois jours après l'arrivée de Paul à Rome ; durant ce temps, il entra sans doute en diverses relations avec l'Eglise chrétienne, dont il avait déjà vu plusieurs membres. (verset 15)

Au premier abord, on est étonné que Luc passe sous silence les rapports de l'apôtre avec l'Eglise qu'il avait depuis si longtemps le désir de voir. Mais toute cette fin du livre des Actes est si abrégée !

    • Genèse 40

      15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

      Actes 6

      14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

      Actes 21

      33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
      34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn't find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
      35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
      36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him!"
      37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
      38 Aren't you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
      39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
      40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

      Actes 22

      5 As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

      Actes 23

      1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day."
      2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
      3 Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?"
      4 Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?"
      5 Paul said, "I didn't know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"
      6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"
      7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
      8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
      9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!"
      10 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
      11 The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."
      33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

      Actes 24

      10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
      11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
      12 In the temple they didn't find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
      13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
      14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
      15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
      16 Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

      Actes 25

      2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
      8 while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."
      10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

      Actes 28

      17 It happened that after three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
