Day 24 - Acts 21:37-27:44

The only real clues we have to the date of the book of Acts are the events it records and the events which it does not. Acts ends with Paul in prison in Rome, which is suggested to be from about AD 61-62 following his arrest in Jerusalem about AD 56. Yet the book makes no mention of the persecution under Nero in AD 64. There is no mention of the Jewish-Roman war of AD 66-70, nor of Paul's activities following his release from Roma. Since it is generally believed that Paul was released from prison in AD 62, Acts is generally dated to AD 61 or 62.
