Пред царя

Paul stands in a Roman audience hall with his hand raised in testimony before King Agrippa, who sits on an elevated throne beside a guarded stairway. A Roman soldier holds a standard near the royal seat, framing the formal setting of judgment and authority. The scene presents the apostle’s defense in Acts, where Paul recounts his conversion, proclaims the risen Christ, and appeals to both prophecy and conscience before rulers. The composition emphasizes the contrast between earthly power and gospel witness: a prisoner speaks with boldness while a king listens from his throne. This artwork serves well for teaching on evangelism, Christian courage, courtroom witness, and Paul’s mission to carry the name of Jesus before kings.
