His countenance glows with the light of Heaven, as though reflecting the rays of the sun. Many who looked upon him in that hall of judgment “saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.” Tears dimmed many eyes that had never before been seen to weep. The gospel message found its way to the minds and hearts of many who would never have listened to it but for the imprisonment of Paul.{LP 315.1}

Hans ansigt gløder af himlens lys, som om solens stråler genspejles. Mange som så på ham i domssalen, var "hans ansigt, for dem at se, som en engels ansigt." Manges øjne var vædet med tårer, som man aldrig før havde set grædt. Evangeliets budskab fandt sin vej til manges hjerter og sind, som aldrig har lyttet til det før, andet end ved Paulus’ fængsling.
