Acts 26:16-32

16But getG450 upG450 and 1standG2476 on your feetG4228; for thisG3778 purpose I have appearedG3708 to you, to 2appointG4400 you as a 3servantG5257 and 4a witnessG3144 not onlyG5037 to the things in whichG3739 you have seenG3708 Me, but alsoG5037 to the things in whichG3739 I will appearG3708 to you, 175rescuingG1807 you 6from the Jewish peopleG2992 and from the GentilesG1484, to whomG3739 I am sendingG649 you, 18to 7openG455 their eyesG3788 so that they may turnG1994 from 8darknessG4655 to lightG5457, and from the 9powerG1849 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“ForG3606 thatG3606 reasonG3606, KingG935 AgrippaG67, I did not proveG1096 disobedientG545 to the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701, 20but continually proclaimedG518 14to thoseG3588 in DamascusG1154 firstG4413, and 15in JerusalemG2414, and then allG3956 the regionG5561 of JudeaG2449, and even 16to the GentilesG1484, that they are to 17repentG3340 and turnG1994 to GodG2316, performingG4238 deedsG2041 18consistentG514 with repentanceG3341. 21For theseG3778 reasonsG1752 some JewsG2453 19seizedG4815 me in the templeG2413 and triedG3987 20to murderG1315 me. 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 wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096, 23as to 23whetherG1487 the 24ChristG5547 was 25to sufferG3805, and whetherG1487, as 26firstG4413 from the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, He wouldG3195 proclaimG2605 27lightG5457 bothG5037 to the Jewish peopleG2992 and to the GentilesG1484.”

24While 28Paul was statingG626 theseG3778 thingsG3778 inG626 his defenseG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “PaulG3972, you areG3105 outG3105 ofG3105 your mindG3105! 29Your greatG4183 30learningG1121 is 31drivingG4062 you insaneG3130.” 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, “I amG3105 not insaneG3105, 32mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347; onG235 theG235 contraryG235, I am speakingG669 outG669 with 33truthfulG225 and rationalG4997 wordsG4487. 26For the kingG935 3435knowsG1987 aboutG4012 theseG3778 matters, and I alsoG2532 speakG2980 to him with confidenceG3955, sinceG1063 I am persuadedG3982 that noneG3756G3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 escapeG2990 his noticeG2990; for thisG3778 has not beenG1510 doneG4238 in a 36cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, do you believeG4100 the ProphetsG4396? I knowG3609 that you believeG4100.” 28AgrippaG67 replied to PaulG3972, “37In a shortG3641 time you are going to persuadeG3982 me to 38makeG4160 a 39ChristianG5546 of myself.” 29And PaulG3972 said, “I wouldG2172 40wishG2172 to GodG2316 that evenG2532 41in a shortG3641 orG2532 longG3173 time not onlyG3440 you, but alsoG2532 allG3956 who hearG191 me thisG4594 dayG4594 would becomeG1096 suchG5108 as I myselfG1473 amG1510, exceptG3924 for theseG3778 42chainsG1199.”

3043The kingG935 stoodG450 upG450 and the governorG2232 and BerniceG959, and thoseG3588 who were sittingG4775 with them, 31and when they had goneG402 outG402, they began talkingG2980 to oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, “44ThisG3778 manG444 is not doingG4238 anythingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 45imprisonmentG1199.” 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, “ThisG3778 manG444 couldG1410 have beenG1096 46setG630 freeG630 ifG1487 he had not 47appealedG1941 toG1941 CaesarG2541.”
