Back in Acts 9, Ananias (not the high priest in 24:1) baulked at going to lay hands on Paul immediately after his Damascus Road conversion. Yet Ananias was told, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." (Acts 9:15-16). This final unit in the book of Acts shows Paul proclaiming Christ to the Romans and their 'kings', beginning at Jerusalem and moving ultimately to Rome.
