Acts 23:11

But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, " Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome. "

1. Paul is instructed and informed by Jesus.

1. Have courage - Be of good cheer. We would say, "Cheer up." The Greek word used here means to have courage.

2. Jerusalem testimony - Paul was faithful and did not waver in his convictions as he was arrested and in his defense to the Jews.

3. Roman witness - Paul is now informed that this is not the end. He is also to stand before councils in Rome.
