Question: In the New Testament, Paul refers to himself as the prisoner of the Lord. What does that mean?
In Rome:
In the fourth Chapter of Ephesians, the apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called" (Eph. 4:1). At the time of the writing of this letter to Ephesus, Paul was a prisoner in Rome.
He was in prison because of his work for the Lord’s Salvation Message; and because of his declaration of Lo-Ammi (not My people) on the Jewish people; who had rejected Christ Jesus as their Messiah, which Isa. declared in 6:9–10. That made the Jewish Sanhedrin angry; where as previously they had given him Warrants for the deaths of Jews, who converted to Christ!
