In Acts 22 and 23 we see Paul suffering for his faith in Christ and in his role of proclaiming the Gospel.
In Chapter 22 he is beaten by a crowd, rescued by the Romans and beaten by them because he is assumed to have done something wrong.
Paul gets a chance to defend himself and the Pharisees and Sadducees begin arguing with each other.
The Romans have to whisk Paul away for his own safety.
We are told then, "The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, 'Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.'" (v.11)
We can only speculate what form this appearance of the Lord took.
The comfort we can gain from this is, that the Lord is never very far away.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
