His preaching touches religious leaders (23:1–11), governors (24:1–21), kings (25:23–26:23), sailors (27:13–26), and superstitious islanders (28:1–10). The physical chains are no impediment to Paul’s spiritual vitality and ability to communicate Christ. In fact, they enable him to travel even farther than on his missionary journeys.
