Acts 26:24-32
24While Paul was sayingG626 thisG3778 in his defenseG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “PaulG3972, you are out of your mindG3105! 1Your greatG4183 2learningG1121 is 3drivingG4062 you madG3130.” 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, “I amG3105 not out of my mindG3105, 4mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347, but I utterG669 wordsG4487 5of soberG4997 truthG225. 26For the kingG935 67knowsG1987 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 8cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, do you believeG4100 the ProphetsG4396? I knowG3609 that you 9doG4100.” 28AgrippaG67 replied to PaulG3972, “10In a shortG3641 timeG3641 you 11will persuadeG3982 me to 12becomeG4160 a 13ChristianG5546.” 29And PaulG3972 said, “14I wouldG2172 wishG2172 to GodG2316, that whetherG2532 15in 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 16chainsG1199.”
3017The 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, “18ThisG3778 manG444 is not doingG4238 anythingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 19imprisonmentG1199.” 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, “ThisG3778 manG444 mightG1410 have beenG1096 20setG630 freeG630 ifG1487 he had not 21appealedG1941 to CaesarG2541.”
