    • Quotes

      Gamaliel: [to Paul] Saul Paulus, be careful. Leave these men alone. If this idea of theirs is of human origin, it will collapse. But if it comes from God, you will never be able to fight them, and you will risk finding yourself at war with God.

    Hopkins best performance
    Say what you will hopkins greatest performance I 1st saw this movie when I got saved in1997 ave watched it many times since it follows the book of acts which is a historical book not a doctrinal book and the rise of the body of Christ and fall of Israel nevertheless it is an excellent movie for the lost and saved alike when I get to heaven and meet Paul I expect him to look like Anthony Hopkins he played such a convincing role definitely reccomend this movie
