Acts 24 revolves around Paul's trial before Felix, the Roman governor, where the Jewish leaders accuse Paul of being a troublemaker.

Acts 25 continues with Paul's trial, now before Festus, Felix's successor as governor.

Festus, perplexed by the case, seeks King Agrippa's counsel, who expresses interest in hearing Paul. The chapter reveals the political intrigue surrounding Paul's case and showcases his unwavering commitment to spreading the message of Christ, even amidst legal challenges.

Acts 26 showcases Paul's defense before King Agrippa. He recounts his life, conversion, and mission to preach the Gospel. Paul passionately shares his encounter with Jesus and emphasizes the resurrection. His testimony impacts Agrippa, who acknowledges Paul's innocence but cannot release him due to the appeal to Caesar. This chapter highlights Paul's boldness in proclaiming the Gospel and depicts his unwavering commitment to his faith despite the trials and opposition he faces in the Roman legal system.
