This video is a segment of an earlier video and it features Caesarea where Paul was imprisoned and then sent on a ship to Rome (being shipwrecked on Malta before again setting sail for Rome.) Paul was sent from Jerusalem to Caesarea when a dispute against him became violent and the troops took him to the barracks and then there was a plot to kill Paul (Acts 23, verses 1 to 22). It was decided to send Paul to Governor Felix in Caesarea who ordered Paul to be kept under guard in Herod’s palace (Acts 23, verses 23 to 35). Herod had built Caesarea Maritima in the first century BCE and named it for his Roman Patron, Augustus Caesar. Caesarea Maritima had a harbor with a breakwater. He also had built himself a palace where Paul was eventually jailed for at least two years. “When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.” (Acts 24 verse 27) After a trial before Festus, Paul, a Roman citizen, appealed to Caesar instead of being turned over to the Jews for trial in Jerusalem. “After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”” (Acts 25 verse 12)
Paul had visited Caesarea Maritima twice before he was sent there for trial: 1) After his conversion, when he was lowered from a basket in a wall opening in Damascus and then going to Jerusalem where there was an attempt to kill Paul, he was taken to Caesarea and then sent off to Tarsus (Acts 9 verses 9b to 26), and 2) on a return journey, landing in Caesarea before going to Jerusalem (Acts 18 verses 18 to 22).
