Paul was in chains (Acts 21:33). Arrested by the Roman soldiers, in order to quell a riot and establish their authority, Paul was carried above the heads of the crowd up the steps of the military barracks (Acts 21:35). But before they entered the building, and the heavy gates slammed shut behind them, Paul spoke respectfully to the commander asking permission to speak to him. The officer was surprised to hear the apostle speaking in educated Greek. He wrongly assumed that Paul was an Egyptian terrorist leader; such people certainly did not speak Greek.

“Word@Work has been a tremendous source of authentic teachings and encouragement in the Christian faith!! Unfortunately, I often cannot make it to my church's Bible study, and so Word@Work has been a great substitute. Not only do the messages come as a devotional but it gives background information for better understanding of the times back then and Word@Work always makes it easy to relate to today's world. ”
