On arrival in Rome, Paul first addressed the Jewish Council.
Paul was a Jewish rabbi and an apostle of Jesus Christ who was arrested in Jerusalem and transferred to Rome to stand trial before Caesar. Upon arriving in Rome, he called together the leaders of the Jewish community and explained his situation to them, testifying to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He hoped to persuade them to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and to join the growing community of believers. However, not all of the Jewish leaders were receptive to his message, and he continued to face opposition from some members of the Jewish community.
