In this passage, the Asian Jews jump to the wrong conclusion about Paul and some Gentile companions that have been traveling with Paul throughout the province of Asia and now in Jerusalem.

This podcast looks these events and some conclusions that come from our examination of this passage.

These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage from Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
