What did Paul say he voted to do to the Jewish believers?
Paul stated that he voted to have these Jewish believers not merely thrown into prison but put to death. Writing in the first person in chapter 26, he made plain that his vote was for their execution, not only for their imprisonment.
Les explains that Paul, now writing in the first person in chapter 26, makes it plain that he voted to have these Jewish believers not just thrown in prison, but put to death. The surrounding discussion notes that Rome tolerated ancient Judaism but turned against Christianity as something new, and Les suggests some of this mentality comes in. Les also raises whether Paul was ever married, saying he thinks Paul was, though Scripture never gives any indication and is silent on the matter.
