But God has protected me right up to this present time so… Acts 26:22-23

But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest.

I assert nothing more than what the Prophets and Moses said would occur: that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to the people and to the Gentiles. evangelism suffering resurrection
