of men and from perils by the sea he was coming now to the critical mo ment when he must stand before caesar to defer d himelf and uphold christianity at the centre of the world three years had gone since he hail written his letter to the roman chris tians ahat would their attitude be by now one can understa d thi joy vlth which he found a body of roman christian brethren waiting for him at the appian market forty miles from the city at the three taverns ten miles on he met another group this evidence of confidence and love dispelled his gloom he thanked god and took courage 28 15 he saw in these christians the evidence that the kingdom was advancing even in the shadow of caesars throne it was a good omen then too paul like other heroic souls needed sympathy and en couragement- luther going up to the diet of worms was braced for his ordenl by theknight who slapped him on the back as he passed him and spoke a hearty word of cheer so paul came to rome ac last i rome at last acts 281c

1729 paul was not the man to let the grass grow under his fset having 0iured lodgings he immediately aot in touch with the leading men of the roman synagogue v 17 he had al ready met the roman christians or some of them this first conference with the leading jews was not so much ian evangelistic effort as a prudent pre paration for his trial it was import ant to learn their attitude and if possible secure if not their support at least their neutrality his appeal to caesar he told them meant no at tack upon his own people the jews v 19 he was simply defending him self he had not revolted against ethe- the nation or the religion of the jews- his message was not the de struction of their ancestral beliefs but their lfilment it was for the hope of isrrcl and not for its destruction that he wore his chains v 20 the laders were noncommittal they had received ro official word they said they had heard nothing probably they knew more than they admited their reference to this sect ii v 22 indicates as much one can imagine the next day spent in testifying disputing persuading the rabbis with their rolis verifying the references to the prophets the brave preacher and teacher trying to
