He himself now is being persecuted and he's put into prison for his faith. I remember when I started doing preaching workshops when I was in college and I had to be crit, and I can't remember the passage I preached on now, but it was a passage on Paul and one of Paul's letters. And you're always skeptical towards the end of your sermon, because you know it's crit time and they have to crit you and there's very things that they crit you on. So it's not that I was preaching Paul, it's just that I didn't let them in on what I knew made Paul the way he was.
