Acts 26:16-32

16But ariseG450, and standG2476 upon thy feetG4228: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appointG4400 thee a minister and a witnessG3144 both of the thingsG3778 wherein thou hast seenG3708 me, and of the thingsG3778 wherein I will appear unto thee; 17delivering thee from the peopleG2992, and from the GentilesG1484, unto whom I sendG649 thee, 18to openG455 their eyesG3788, that they may turnG1994 from darknessG4655 to lightG5457 and from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 unto GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 remission of sinsG266 and an inheritanceG2819 among them that are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 in me. 19Wherefore, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I was not disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701: 20but declaredG518 both to them of DamascusG1154 firstG4413, and at JerusalemG2414, and throughout all the countryG5561 of Judæa, and alsoG2532 to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 and turnG1994 to GodG2316, doing worksG2041 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341. 21For this cause the JewsG2453 seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me. 22Having thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 the help that is from GodG2316, I standG2476 unto this dayG2250 testifyingG3143 both to smallG3398 and greatG3173, sayingG3004 nothing but what the prophetsG4396 and MosesG3475 did sayG3004 should comeG1096; 23how that the ChristG5547 must suffer, and how that he firstG4413 by the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 should proclaimG2605 lightG5457 both to the peopleG2992 and to the GentilesG1484.

24And as he thus made his defence, FestusG5347 saith with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art mad; thy muchG4183 learning is turning thee mad. 25But PaulG3972 saith, I am not mad, mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347; but speak forth words of truthG225 and soberness. 26For the kingG935 knoweth of these thingsG3778, unto whom alsoG2532 I speakG2980 freely: for I amG1510 persuadedG3982 that noneG3762 of these thingsG3778 isG1510 hidden from him; for this hath not beenG1510 done in a cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thou the prophetsG4396? I know that thou believest. 28And AgrippaG67 said unto PaulG3972, With but littleG3641 persuasion thou wouldest fain makeG4160 me a ChristianG5546. 29And PaulG3972 said, I would to GodG2316, that whether with littleG3641 or with much, not thou onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 all that hearG191 me this dayG4594, might becomeG1096 suchG5108 as I amG1510, except these bonds.

30And the kingG935 roseG450 up, and the governorG2232, and BerniceG959, and they that sat with them: 31and when they had withdrawn, they spake oneG3762 to another, sayingG3004, This manG444 doeth nothing worthyG514 of deathG2288 or of bonds. 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 unto FestusG5347, This manG444 might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealedG1941 unto Cæsar.
