FAQ
The priests, their temple guard, and other Jewish leaders of the Sadducee sect have arrested Peter and John for teaching that Jesus rose from the dead (Acts –2). Peter and John entered the temple for the afternoon prayers. After prayers, they spoke to a crowd of people about Jesus (Acts 3).
Conversely, Paul was imprisoned for his religious expression. He was in prison because he refused to be silent in proclaiming the gospel. Given our negative conception of prison, Paul's own statements regarding his imprisonment should be slightly disorienting because they are often framed in a positive light.
The Bible contains several accounts of the apostles being jailed. For example, in Acts 4, Peter and John were taken into custody for teaching that Jesus is the Messiah. After being questioned, they were let go and told not to talk about Jesus anymore. In Acts 12, King Herod put Peter in jail.
The scoffers assert that the apostles are intoxicated because they drank too much wine. They attack Peter and his companions with a claim that is ridiculous; the time of day to see people under the influence of an alcoholic beverage is not at its beginning.
After Jesus returned to his Father in heaven, the apostles preached to the people about Jesus. This angered the high priest and the Sadducees, who had the apostles thrown in jail. During the night, an angel of the Lord came to the jail and opened the doors.
The outcome of the apostles' imprisonment after their arrest in Jerusalem varied. Some were released and continued preaching, while others spent the remainder of their lives in prison.
Acts –26 occurs after the chief priests arrested Peter and John for preaching and healing in Jesus' name, and ordered them not to do so again (Acts –22). Now, all the apostles are healing and preaching in Jesus' name (Acts –16), and so the priests arrest them all.
In the eyes of the Jewish leaders, when Jesus claimed to be God's son he was insulting God. Blasphemy was taken very seriously and the punishment was death by stoning. After Jesus was arrested, he was put on trial by the Sanhedrin.
Ing to tradition: Simon supposedly preached in Egypt and then joined the Apostle St. Jude (Thaddaeus) in Persia. ing to the apocryphal Passion of Simon and Jude, he was martyred by being cut in half with a saw, one of his chief iconographic symbols (another being a book).
He starts with a basic observation: not only was Paul imprisoned, but Paul was imprisoned a lot. Clement of Rome claims that Paul was seven times behind bars; Paul says simply that it was “far more imprisonments” than his rival apostles (2 Cor. ).
