Acts 26:16-32

16But getG450 up and 1standG2476 on your feetG4228; for thisG3778 purpose I have appearedG3708 to you, to 2appointG4400 you a 3ministerG5257 and 4a witnessG3144 not onlyG5037 to the things whichG3739 you have 5seenG3708, but alsoG5037 to the things in whichG3739 I will appearG3708 to you; 176rescuingG1807 you 7from the Jewish peopleG2992 and from the GentilesG1484, to whomG3739 I am sendingG649 you, 18to 8openG455 their eyesG3788 so that they may turnG1994 from 9darknessG4655 to lightG5457 and from the dominionG1849 of 10SatanG4567 to GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 11forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 and an 12inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 thoseG3588 who have been sanctifiedG37 by 13faithG4102 in Me.’

19“SoG3606, KingG935 AgrippaG67, I did not proveG1096 disobedientG545 to the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701, 20but kept declaringG518 bothG5037 14to thoseG3588 of DamascusG1154 firstG4413, and also 15at JerusalemG2414 and then throughout allG3956 the regionG5561 of JudeaG2453, and even 16to the GentilesG1484, that they should 17repentG3340 and turnG1994 to GodG2316, performingG4238 deedsG2041 18appropriateG514 to repentanceG3341. 21For thisG3778 reasonG1752 some JewsG2453 19seizedG4815 me in the templeG2413 and triedG3987 20to putG1315 me to deathG1315. 22SoG3767, having obtainedG5177 helpG1947 from GodG2316, I standG2476 to thisG3778 dayG2250 21testifyingG3143 bothG5037 to smallG3398 and greatG3173, statingG3004 nothingG3762 but whatG3739 22the ProphetsG4396 and MosesG3475 saidG2980 was goingG3195 to takeG1096 placeG1096; 232324that 25the ChristG5547 was 26to sufferG3805, and 27that 28by reasonG1537 of His resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498 He wouldG3195 be the firstG4413 to proclaimG2605 29lightG5457 bothG5037 to the Jewish peopleG2992 and to the GentilesG1484.”

24While Paul was sayingG626 thisG3778 in his defenseG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “PaulG3972, you are out of your mindG3105! 30Your greatG4183 31learningG1121 is 32drivingG4062 you madG3130.” 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, “I amG3105 not out of my mindG3105, 33mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347, but I utterG669 wordsG4487 34of soberG4997 truthG225. 26For the kingG935 3536knowsG1987 aboutG4012 theseG3778 matters, and I speakG2980 to him alsoG2532 with confidenceG3955, sinceG1063 I am persuadedG3982 that noneG3756G3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 escapeG2990 his noticeG2990; for thisG3778 has not beenG1510 doneG4238 in a 37cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, do you believeG4100 the ProphetsG4396? I knowG3609 that you 38doG4100.” 28AgrippaG67 replied to PaulG3972, “39In a shortG3641 timeG3641 you 40will persuadeG3982 me to 41becomeG4160 a 42ChristianG5546.” 29And PaulG3972 said, “43I wouldG2172 wishG2172 to GodG2316, that whetherG2532 44in a shortG3641 orG2532 longG3173 timeG3173, not onlyG3440 you, but alsoG2532 allG3956 who hearG191 me thisG4594 dayG4594, might becomeG1096 suchG5108 as I amG1510, exceptG3924 for theseG3778 45chainsG1199.”

3046The kingG935 stoodG450 up and the governorG2232 and BerniceG959, and thoseG3588 who were sittingG4775 with them, 31and when they had goneG402 asideG402, they began talkingG2980 to oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, “47ThisG3778 manG444 is not doingG4238 anythingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 48imprisonmentG1199.” 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, “ThisG3778 manG444 mightG1410 have beenG1096 49setG630 freeG630 ifG1487 he had not 50appealedG1941 to CaesarG2541.”
