Neville Goddard on Acts 23:27-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 23 in context

Scripture Focus

27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

Acts 23:27-29

Biblical Context

Paul is seized by Jewish authorities and saved by the Roman commander once his Roman status is known. The accusation concerns their law, but nothing in Paul warrants death or bonds.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this scene is not about soldiers or politics but about the state of your own consciousness. The Jews represent a chorus of limiting beliefs, the 'charge' that you fear is against you; the Roman guard is your higher self, the awareness that you cannot be finally condemned when you know yourself as the I AM. The council room is the inner tribunal where you revise who you are and what you deserve. When you perceive that the accusation pertains to 'their law' rather than to your true being, you see that nothing truly worthy of death or bonds exists in you. The deliverance comes not from external force but from a shift of state: belief in limitation is dissolved by the recognition that you are the one who commands the interpretation. Move every situation into your inner courtroom, feel the verdict dissolve, feel it real, and ask: 'What belief am I accepting as true that makes me feel condemned?' Answer from the I AM that there is none; you are free, here and now, in this moment of inner jurisprudence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and enter the inner council. Assume the truth: 'I am the I AM, free from condemnation,' feel it real until fear dissolves and the outer scene reflects your inner rescue.
