📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, Paul was on trial in Caesarea before Felix, the Roman governor, after being accused by Jewish leaders of stirring up riots and leading a sect they opposed. Tertullus, a lawyer speaking for the high priest and elders, presented these charges, and the Jews present affirmed them to strengthen the case against Paul. This event occurred around 57-59 AD, during a time of tension between Jewish authorities and early Christians under Roman rule.
