QUOTE - John Stott
“The slammed gates seemed to symbolize the final Jewish rejection of the gospel.”

JESUS AND PAUL:
· Both were rejected by their own people
· Both arrested without cause
· Both were unjustly accused and willfully misrepresented
· Both were slapped in the face in court
· Both were the victims of secret Jewish plots
· Both heard a frenzied mob screaming, ‘Away with him.”
· Both were subjected to a series of five trials
· Both were declared innocent by Gentile rulers
