“It’s really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders12:11 Or the Jewish people. had planned to do to me!”

Then he said, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?

But when some of the Jews saw the crowds, they were jealous; so they slandered Paul and argued against whatever he said.

Lord God my Father,

You are always here, help me to rely on you, protect me from distractions. Give me discernment to know your Truth above all else and keep me in your desire when I don’t understand. Keep me close.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
