Acts 26:16-32
16but riseG450 up and standG2476 on thy feetG4228; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appointG4400 thee to be a servant and a witnessG3144 both of what thou hast seenG3708, and of what I shall appear to thee in, 17taking thee out from among the peopleG2992, and the nationsG1484, to whom I sendG649 thee, 18to openG455 their eyesG3788, that they may turnG1994 from darknessG4655 to lightG5457, and from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 to 1GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 remission of sinsG266 and inheritanceG2819 among them that are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 in me. 19Whereupon, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I was not disobedientG545 to the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701; 20but have, firstG4413 to those both in DamascusG1154 and JerusalemG2414, and to all the regionG5561 of Judaea, and to the nationsG1484, announced that they should repentG3340 and turnG1994 to 2GodG2316, doing worksG2041 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341. 21On account of these thingsG3778 the JewsG2453, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me. 22Having thereforeG3767 met with [the] help which is from 3GodG2316, I have stoodG2476 firmG2476 unto this dayG2250, witnessing both to smallG3398 and greatG3173, sayingG3004 nothing else than those thingsG3778 which both the prophetsG4396 and MosesG3475 have saidG3004 should happenG1096, 23[namely,] whether ChristG5547 should suffer; whether he firstG4413, through resurrectionG386 of [the] deadG3498, should announce lightG5457 both to the peopleG2992 and to the nationsG1484. 24And as he answered for his defence with these thingsG3778, FestusG5347 saysG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, Thou art mad, PaulG3972; muchG4183 learning turns thee to madness. 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, I am not mad, mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347, but utterG669 words of truthG225 and soberness; 26for the kingG935 isG1510 informed about these thingsG3778, to whom alsoG2532 I speakG2980 with all freedom. For I amG1510 persuadedG3982 that of these thingsG3778 nothing isG1510 hidden from him; for this wasG1510 not done in a cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thou the prophetsG4396? I know that thou believest. 28And AgrippaG67 [said] to PaulG3972, In a littleG3641 thou persuadest me to become a ChristianG5546. 29And PaulG3972 [said], I would to 4GodG2316, both in littleG3641 and in much, that not onlyG3440 thou, but all who have heardG191 me this dayG4594, should becomeG1096 suchG5108 as I alsoG2532 amG1510, except these bonds. 30And the kingG935 stoodG450 up, and the governorG2232 and BerniceG959, and those who sat with them, 31and having gone apart, they spokeG2980 to oneG3762 another sayingG3004, This manG444 does nothing worthyG514 of deathG2288 or of bonds. 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, This manG444 might have been let goG630 if he had not appealedG1941 to CaesarG2541.
