Daily Bible Reading DAy 189

Job 35-37; Acts 14.  Elihu continues his response to Job and his three friends. Elihu sure seems to know a lot about God. Again I have to wonder why Elihu is introduced as a character in Job. What he says sounds lofty and majestic. Why does God ignore Elihu when he speaks to Job?

Paul and Barnabas arrive at a synagogue and speak. Some follow. The rest stir up the Gentiles of the city against him. I wonder if those Jews knew anything about Paul? Persecution arises and they flee to another city. There Paul heals a man. The Gentiles are so impressed that they think Paul and Barnabas are gods of some kind. They try to offer a sacrifice to them. They get them to stop. Then Jews from Antioch arrive and stir the people against Paul. They take him out of the city and stone him so that they think he is dead. The disciples surround him and he gets up and walks away.  So they continue to visit churches strengthening them and appointing elders.
