What happened in Acts 28 to interrupt Paul's ministry?
Acts 28 marks an interruption in Paul’s ministry: he is arrested and taken to prison in Rome. After shipwreck and turmoil from Caesarea, he arrives in Rome, calls the chief Jews after three days, and tells them he did nothing against Israel or the fathers’ customs, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem to the Romans.
Les explains that Paul had been roaming the Roman Empire and establishing churches, but with Acts 28 there is suddenly an interruption in his ministry. He is arrested and taken to prison in Rome. He had now arrived at Rome after the shipwreck and the turmoil of getting from Caesarea in Israel. After three days he called the chief of the Jews—the Jewish community in Rome—and told them that although he had committed nothing against the people of Israel or the customs of the fathers, he was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. The context also notes that the Jews hated the Apostle Paul.
