Acts 26:3-8

3especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

4"My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews.

5They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.

6And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,

7to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!

8Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
