Acts 26:24-32

24As Paul was defending himself in this way, Festus shouted, “Paul, you’re crazy! Too much education is driving you crazy!”

25Paul replied, “I’m not crazy, Your Excellency Festus. What I’m saying is true and sane.

26I can easily speak to a king who knows about these things. I’m sure that none of these things has escaped his attention. None of this was done secretly.

27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you believe them!”

28Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think you can quickly persuade me to become a Christian?”

29Paul replied, “I wish to God that you and everyone listening to me today would quickly and completely become as I am (except for being a prisoner).”

30The king, the governor, Bernice, and the people who were sitting with them got up.

31As they were leaving, they said to each other, “This man isn’t doing anything for which he deserves to die or be put in prison.”

32Agrippa told Festus, “This man could have been set free if he hadn’t appealed his case to the emperor.”
