Caesarea Maritima | Pilgrimage of Paul Apostle of Hope | Magdala

📍Caesarea Maritima, Israel

At the grand ruins of Caesarea Maritima, we stand where Paul was imprisoned for two years and boldly defended his faith before Governor Felix, Festus, and King Agrippa (Acts 23-26). This coastal city, a marvel of Roman engineering, served as a political and administrative hub, but for Paul, it became a place of testimony and perseverance. From the remains of Herod’s palace and the great theater, we reflect on Paul’s unwavering conviction, as he proclaimed, "I am standing before Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried" (Acts 25:10). His courage in the face of opposition reminds us that, even in trials, the Gospel cannot be silenced—it continues to transform hearts across generations.

Did anyone else see the bird flying when the question was asked and then flew out? It looked like the bird followed it!

✌It's a fact that Jesus suffered under the Roman regime and was sentenced to death by the High Priest and the Sanhedrin, which in turn was composed of Jews. I don't think that, in my opinion, the Greeks, Palestinians were. It has been a wonderful journey going with Paul.
