Acts 26:1-8
11NowG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to PaulG3972, “You are permittedG2010 to speakG3004 for yourselfG4572.” ThenG5119 PaulG3972 extendedG1614 his handG5495 and proceeded to makeG626 his defenseG626:
2“RegardingG4012 allG3956 the thingsG3956 of whichG3739 I am accusedG1458 by the JewsG2453, KingG935 AgrippaG67, I considerG2233 myselfG1683 fortunateG3107 that I amG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 makeG626 my defenseG626 beforeG1909 you todayG4594, 32especiallyG3122 because you are an expertG1109 in allG3956 3customsG1485 and 4questionsG2213 amongG2596 the JewsG2453; thereforeG1352 I begG1189 you to listenG191 to me patientlyG3116.
4“SoG3767 thenG3767, allG3956 JewsG2453 knowG3609 5my wayG981 ofG981 lifeG981 sinceG1537 my youthG3503, which from the beginningG746 was spentG1096 amongG1722 my own nationG1484 and in JerusalemG2414, 5since they have knownG4267 about me for a longG509 timeG509, ifG1437 they are willingG2309 to testifyG3140, that I livedG2198 as a 6PhariseeG5330 7accordingG2596 to the strictestG198 8sectG139 of our religionG2356. 6And nowG3568 I am standingG2476 trialG2919 9for the hopeG1680 of 10the promiseG1860 madeG1096 by GodG2316 to our fathersG3962; 7the promise 11to whichG3739 our twelveG1429 tribesG1429 hopeG1679 to attainG2658, as they earnestlyG1722G1616 serveG3000 God nightG3571 and dayG2250. For thisG3739 12hopeG1680, O kingG935, I am being 13accusedG1458 by JewsG2453. 8WhyG5101 is it consideredG2919 incredibleG571 amongG3844 you people 14ifG1487 GodG2316 raisesG1453 the deadG3498?
