He related his miraculous conversion, which so enraged the priests and rulers that they sought to take his life. But that he might be saved, Jesus again appeared to him in a vision while he was praying, and said unto him, “Get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning Me.” Paul answered, “Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on Thee: and when the blood of Thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.” Paul thought that the Jews in Jerusalem could not resist his testimony; that they would consider that the great change in him could be wrought only by the power of God. But the reply was more decided than before: “Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.”EW 206.1 During Paul's absence from Jerusalem, he wrote many letters to different places, relating his experience and bearing a powerful testimony. But some strove to destroy the influence of those letters. They were forced to admit that his letters were weighty and powerful, but they declared that his bodily presence was weak and his speech contemptible.EW 206.2 The facts in the case were that Paul was a man of great learning, and his wisdom and manners charmed his hearers. Learned men were pleased with his knowledge, and many of them believed on Jesus. When before kings and large assemblies, he would pour forth such eloquence as would fascinate all before him. This greatly enraged the priests and elders. Paul could readily enter into deep reasoning and, soaring up, carry the people with him in the most exalted trains of thought, bringing to view the deep riches of the grace of God and portraying before them the amazing love of Christ. Then with simplicity he would come down to the understanding of the common people and in a most powerful manner relate his experience, which called forth from them an ardent desire to become the disciples of Christ.EW 206.3 Again the Lord appeared to Paul and revealed to him that he must go up to Jerusalem, that he would there be bound and suffer for His name. Although he was a prisoner for a great length of time, yet the Lord carried forward His special work through him. His bonds were to be the means of spreading the knowledge of Christ and thus glorifying God. As he was sent from city to city for his trial, his testimony concerning Jesus and the interesting incidents of his own conversion were related before kings and governors, that they should be left without excuse concerning Jesus. Thousands believed on Him and rejoiced in His name. I saw that God's special purpose was fulfilled in the journey of Paul upon the sea; He designed that the ship's crew might thus witness the power of God through Paul and that the heathen also might hear the name of Jesus, and that many might be converted through the teaching of Paul and by witnessing the miracles he wrought. Kings and governors were charmed by his reasoning, and as with zeal and the power of the Holy Spirit he preached Jesus and related the interesting events of his experience, conviction fastened upon them that Jesus was the Son of God. While some wondered with amazement as they listened to Paul, one cried out, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” Yet the most of those who heard thought that at some future time they would consider what they had heard. Satan took advantage of the delay, and, as they neglected the opportunity when their hearts were softened, it was forever lost. Their hearts became hardened.EW 207.1 I was shown the work of Satan in first blinding the eyes of the Jews so that they would not receive Jesus as their Saviour; and next in leading them, through envy because of His mighty works, to desire His life. Satan entered one of Christ's own followers and led him on to betray Him into the hands of His enemies, that they might crucify the Lord of life and glory.EW 208.1 After Jesus arose from the dead, the Jews added sin to sin as they sought to hide the fact of His resurrection by hiring the Roman guard to testify to a falsehood. But the resurrection of Jesus was made doubly sure by the resurrection of a multitude of witnesses at the same time. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples, and to above five hundred at once, while those whom He brought up with Him appeared unto many, declaring that Jesus had risen.EW 208.2 Satan had caused the Jews to rebel against God by refusing to receive His Son, and by staining their hands with His most precious blood. No matter how powerful the evidence now produced that Jesus was the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world, they had murdered Him, and would not receive any evidence in His favor. Their only hope and consolation, like that of Satan after his fall, was in trying to prevail against the Son of God. They therefore continued their rebellion by persecuting the disciples of Christ, and putting them to death. Nothing fell so harshly on their ears as the name of Jesus whom they had crucified; and they were determined not to listen to any evidence in His favor. As when the Holy Spirit through Stephen declared the mighty evidence of Jesus’ being the Son of God, they stopped their ears lest they should be convinced. Satan had the murderers of Jesus fast in his grasp. By wicked works they had yielded themselves his willing subjects, and through them he was at work to trouble and annoy the believers in Christ. He worked through the Jews to stir up the Gentiles against Jesus and against those who followed Him. But God sent His angels to strengthen the disciples for their work, that they might testify of the things they had seen and heard, and at last by their steadfastness, seal their testimony with their blood.EW 208.3 Satan rejoiced that the Jews were safe in his snare. They still continued their useless forms, their sacrifices, and ordinances. As Jesus hung upon the cross and cried, “It is finished,” the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom, to signify that God would no longer meet with the priests in the temple, to accept their sacrifices and ordinances, and also to show that the partition wall between the Jews and the Gentiles was broken down. Jesus had made an offering of Himself for both, and if saved at all, both must believe in Him as the only offering for sin, the Saviour of the world.EW 209.1 When the soldier pierced the side of Jesus as He hung upon the cross, there came out two distinct streams, one of blood, the other of water. The blood was to wash away the sins of those who should believe in His name, and the water was to represent that living water which is obtained from Jesus to give life to the believer.EW 209.2

अनि तपाईंका सेवक शहीद स्तिफनसको रक्तपात हुँदा पनि म छेउमा उभिएर तिनलाई मार्ने काममा सहयोग पुऱ्याउँदै तिनका हत्याराहरूका लुगाहरूको रखवारी गर्दै थिएँ ।”1BP 100.1 तिनको जुन जीवन परिवर्तन भयो, त्यो परमेश्वरकै शक्तिद्वारा भएको भन्ने बुझेर यरुशलेमका यहूदीहरूले तिनको गवाहीको विरोध गर्नेछैनन् भन्ने पावलले सोचेका थिए । तर प्रभु येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो. “जाऊ, किनकि अब उसो म तिमीलाई टाढा अन्यजातिहरूकहाँ पठाउनेछु ।”1BP 100.2 पावलले आफू यरुशलेममा नहुँदा आफ्ना अनुभवहरू उल्लेख गर्दै धेरैवटा पत्रहरू विभिन्न ठाउँमा पठाए अनि प्रभावशाली गवाहीपूर्ण जीवन बिताए । तर कतिपय मानिसहरूले भने तिनका पत्रहरूमा जुन प्रभावकारिता थियो, सो बिगार्न खोजे । आखिरमा तिनीहरूले पनि तिनका पत्रको गहनतालाई मानिलिन कर लाग्यो ।1BP 100.3 मैले देख्दाहुँदि पनि पावल एक विद्वान् मानिस थिए, अनि तिनको ज्ञान एवम् भद्रताले तिनका श्रोतावर्ग पनि दङ्ग पर्थे । अरु विद्वान्हरू पनि तिनको ज्ञान देखेर प्रसन्न हुन्थे, र धेरैजनाले ता ख्रीष्टमाथि विश्वास पनि गरे । तिनले राजाहरू र विराट जनसभा सामु पनि यति वाक्पटुतापूर्वक बोले, यहाँसम्म कि त्यहाँका सबलाई तिनले प्रभावित पारिदिए । त्यो देखेर पूजाहारीहरू र फरिसी-शास्त्रीहरू झन् रिसले आगो भए । पावलले सहजै मानिसलाई गम्भीर तर्कात्मक ढङ्गमा आकाश-पाताल देखाईकन तिनीहरूलाई विचारमग्न तुल्याएर परमेश्वरको अनुग्रहको अथाह धन एवम् ख्रीष्टको अजीव प्रेमको सप्रमाण चित्रण गरी विश्वास गराउन सक्थे । त्यसपछि साधारण मानिसहरूको बुझ्ने क्षमताअनुसार सरल र प्रभावशाली ढङ्गमा आफ्ना अनुभवहरू बताउँथे, जसले गर्दा मानिसहरूका मनमा पनि ख्रीष्टका अनुयायी हुने उत्कट इच्छा जागृत हुन थाल्यो ।1BP 101.1 प्रभुले पावललाई तिनी फेरि यरुशलेम जानुपर्ने र त्यहाँ उहाँको नाउँको खातिर बाँधिमाग्नु र कष्ट खप्नुपर्ने कुरा प्रकट गरिदिनुभयो । अनि यद्यपि तिनी लामो समयावधिसम्म कैदमा रहे, तथापि तिनीद्वारै प्रभुले विशेष रूपले कार्य सञ्चालन गरिरहनुभयो । वास्तवमा भनौं भने पावल बन्धनमा पर्नुको तात्पर्य नै ख्रीष्टको ज्ञानको विस्तार भईकन परमेश्वरकै महिमा हुनु थियो । तिनलाई जाँचको निम्ति एउटा शहरदेखि अर्को शहर पठाउँदा राजाहरू र राज्यपालहरूका सामु तिनलाई ख्रीष्टको सुसमाचार साथै आफ्नो जीवन-परिवर्तन बारे गवाही दिने मौका मिल्यो । त्यस प्रकारले तिनीहरू सबलाई ख्रीष्टका बारेमा गवाही नदिई छोड़िएन । हजारौंले उहाँमाथि विश्वास गरी उहाँको नाउँमा आनन्दित भए । अनि मैले पावलको जलयात्राद्वारा पनि परमेश्वरको विशेष उद्देश्य पूरा भएको देखें किनकि नाविकहरूले पावलद्वारा परमेश्वरको सामर्थ्य देख्न पाए । अर्को कुरा, मूर्तिपूजक अन्यजातिहरूले ख्रीष्टको नाउँ सुने, र तिनीबाट शिक्षा पाएर अनि तिनीद्वारा आश्चर्यकर्महरू देखेर धेरैजनाको जीवन परिवर्तन भयो । तिनका युक्तिसंगत कुराहरू सुनेर राजाहरू र हाकिमहरू पनि मानौं मन्त्रमुग्ध हुन्थे । अनि तिनले आत्मिक जोश र पवित्रात्माको सामर्थ्यमा ख्रीष्टको सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्दा र तिनले अनुभव गरेका रोचक घटनाको वर्णन गर्दा साँच्चै येशू परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुँदो रहेछ भन्ने निष्कर्षमा पुगेर तिनीहरू कायल पनि हुन्थे; अनि कति तिनको कुरा सुनेर आश्चर्यचकित हुँदै थिए, तर राजा अग्रिपासले चाहिँ भने, “तिमीले मलाई झन्डै इसाई बनाइदियौ ।” त्यति सुनेर पनि तिनीहरूले आफूले सुनेका कुराहरूका बारेमा पछि कुनै समयमा विचार गरौंला भनी सोचे मात्रै । तिनीहरूले त्यसरी आनाकानी गर्दै त्यस शुभ अवसर हुँदै अर्थात् हृदय कायल हुँदै विलम्व गरिबस्दा शैतानले मौका छोप्यो र तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई कठोर पारिदियो ।1BP 101.2 प्रथमतः शैतानले यहूदीहरूकै आँखालाई बन्द गरिदियो । त्यसो हुँदा तिनीहरूले येशूलाई मुक्तिदाताको रूपमा ग्रहण गर्न चाहेनन् । अर्को कुरो, उसले तिनीहरूको हृदयमा उहाँका सामर्थ्यशाली कार्यहरूका कारण उहाँप्रति ईर्ष्या र द्वेष उब्जाइदिएर उहाँको हत्या गर्न तिनीहरूलाई सुऱ्यायो । ख्रीष्टकै एकजना चेलाभित्र पनि शैतानले प्रवेश गरेर उहाँलाई तिनीहरूका हातमा सुम्पाइदियो, र तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई अर्थात् महिमाका प्रभुलाई क्रूसमा झुन्ड्याए । फेरि ख्रीष्ट येशू मरेकाबाट बौरी उठिसकेपछि पनि ती यहूदीहरूले रोमी सिपाहीहरूलाई घूस दिईवरी झूटा साक्षी दिन लगाईकन उहाँ बौरी उठ्नुभएको सत्य घटना आधारित कुरालाई दबाउन खोजेर पापमाथि पनि महापाप गरे । तर तिनीहरूले दबाएर दब्ने कुरो थिएन, किनकि ती साक्षीहरूको समूहले जो उहाँका साथमा बौरी उठेका थिए - उहाँको बौरिउठाइको सम्बन्धमा अझ निश्चित रूपले प्रमाणित गरिदिए । अनि येशू ख्रीष्ट आफ्ना चेलाहरूकहाँ, साथै एकै पल्टमा पाँचसयभन्दा बढ़ी भाइहरूकहाँ एकसाथ देखा पर्नुभयो, अनि उनीहरू पनि, जसलाई उहाँले आफ्ना साथमा ल्याउनुभयो, येशू बौरी उठ्नुभएको प्रमाणसाथ धेरैजनाकहाँ देखा परे ।1BP 102.1 शैतानले ती यहूदीहरूलाई उल्क्याएर परमेश्वरका पुत्रलाई इन्कार गर्न र उहाँलाई क्रूसमा टँगाई उहाँको रक्तपात गराईकन तिनीहरूका हात कलङ्कित पार्न लगायो । अनि येशूको विषयमा उहाँ परमेश्वरका पुत्र अर्थात् संसारका मुक्तिदाता हुनुहुन्छ भनेर जत्तिकै अकाट्य रूपले प्रमाणित गरिए तापनि यस कुरालाई तिनीहरूले स्वीकार नगरेर उहाँलाई बरु हत्या गरे । त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूले ख्रीष्टका चेलाहरू अर्थात् प्रेरितहरूलाई पनि सताउन र हत्या गर्न छोड़ेनन् । तिनीहरूलाई येशू नामभन्दा अप्रिय अरु कुनै शब्द लाग्दैनथियो, र यो नाउँसम्बन्धि कुनै कुरा पनि तिनीहरूले पटक्कै सुन्न माग्दैन थिए । उदाहरणार्थ, जब स्तिफनसद्वारा पवित्र आत्माले येशू ख्रीष्ट परमेश्वरकै पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनी प्रमाणित गरी देखाउनथाल्नुभयो, तब तिनीहरूले सुन्न नपरोस् भनेर आफ्ना कान बन्द गरे, र स्तिफन्सलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारे; तर परमेश्वरले तिनलाई आफ्नो महिमामा अँगालेर लानुभयो । त्यसैगरी शैतानले ख्रीष्टका हत्याराहरूलाई आफ्नो हतियार बनाईकन आफ्नो मुठ्ठीमा राखेर ख्रीष्टका अनुयायीहरूलाई बारम्बार सताइरह्यो । त्यतिमात्र भएन, उसले यहूदीहरूद्वारै येशू नाउँ र यस नाउँमाथि विश्वास गर्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा अन्यजातिहरूलाई समेत उल्क्यायो । तर पनि परमेश्वरले आफ्ना दूतहरू पठाईकन उनीहरूले देखेका र सुनेका कुराहरूका साक्षी दिऊन् भन्ने हेतुले प्रभुका ती कार्यरत भक्तजनलाई स्थिर गर्नुभयो, र अन्तमा उनीहरूकै शहीद-रक्तले उनीहरूद्वारा दिएका साक्षीमाथि छाप लगाउनुभयो ।1BP 103.1 यहूदीहरूलाई आफ्नो मुठ्ठीमा राखिराख्न सकेकोमा शैतान खुशी थियो । उनीहरूले आफ्ना व्यर्थका रीतिथितिहरू र बलिदानहरूमै आस्था राखिरहे । वास्तवमा मानिसको पापको लागि प्रायश्चितको बलिदान त्यतिखेरै पूरा भएको थियो, जब ख्रीष्टले क्रूसमा झुण्डीकन ‘अब सिद्धियो’ भनीवरि प्राण त्याग्नुभयो, र मन्दिरको पर्दा टुप्पादेखि फेदसम्म दुई भाग भएर च्यातियो, जसको साङ्केतिक अर्थचाहिँ त्यहाँदेखि यसो पूजाहारीहरूको बलिदान र भेटी आदिको आवश्यकता पर्दैन भन्ने थियो । त्यसको अर्थ यो पनि थियो, कि त्यहाँदेखि यसो यहूदीहरू र अन्यजातिहरू बीचको पार्थक्य-पर्खाल पनि तोड़िएको थियो । ख्रीष्टले जुन प्रायश्चितको बलिदान स्वरूप आफैलाई अर्पण गर्नुभयो, त्यो दुवैकै लागि थियो । हामीले - चाहे यहूदी चाहे अन्यजाति - केवल उहाँलाई हाम्रो पापको प्रायश्चितको बलिदान अनि संसारका मुक्तिदाताको रूपमा ग्रहण गर्नु मात्रै रह्यो ।1BP 104.1 येशू ख्रीष्ट क्रूसमाथि नै हुनुहुँदा एकजना सिपाहीले उहाँको कोखामा भालाले रोप्यो, र त्यसबाट रगत र पानी निस्क्यो । त्यहाँ रगत र पानीको धारा अलग-अलगै थियो । त्यसले के देखाएको थियो भने - रगतले उनीहरूका पाप धोई शुद्ध पारिन्छ, जसले उहाँको नाउँमा विश्वास गर्छन्, अनि पानीले त्यो जिउँदो पानीलाई सङ्केत गर्दछ, जुनचाहिँ ख्रीष्टले आफूमाथि विश्वास गर्नेहरूलाई जीवन दिनलाई दिनुहुन्छ।1BP 104.2
