Acts 26:17-32

171rescuingG1807 you 2from the Jewish peopleG2992 and from the GentilesG1484, to whomG3739 I am sendingG649 you, 18to 3openG455 their eyesG3788 so that they may turnG1994 from 4darknessG4655 to lightG5457, and from the 5powerG1849 of 6SatanG4567 to GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 7forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 and an 8inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 thoseG3588 who have been sanctifiedG37 by 9faithG4102 in Me.’

19“ForG3606 thatG3606 reasonG3606, KingG935 AgrippaG67, I did not proveG1096 disobedientG545 to the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701, 20but continually proclaimedG518 10to thoseG3588 in DamascusG1154 firstG4413, and 11in JerusalemG2414, and then allG3956 the regionG5561 of JudeaG2449, and even 12to the GentilesG1484, that they are to 13repentG3340 and turnG1994 to GodG2316, performingG4238 deedsG2041 14consistentG514 with repentanceG3341. 21For theseG3778 reasonsG1752 some JewsG2453 15seizedG4815 me in the templeG2413 and triedG3987 16to murderG1315 me. 22SoG3767, having obtainedG5177 helpG1947 from GodG2316, I standG2476 to thisG3778 dayG2250 17testifyingG3143 bothG5037 to smallG3398 and greatG3173, statingG3004 nothingG3762 but whatG3739 18the ProphetsG4396 and MosesG3475 saidG2980 wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096, 23as to 19whetherG1487 the 20ChristG5547 was 21to sufferG3805, and whetherG1487, as 22firstG4413 from the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, He wouldG3195 proclaimG2605 23lightG5457 bothG5037 to the Jewish peopleG2992 and to the GentilesG1484.”

24While 24Paul was statingG626 theseG3778 thingsG3778 inG626 his defenseG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “PaulG3972, you areG3105 outG3105 ofG3105 your mindG3105! 25Your greatG4183 26learningG1121 is 27drivingG4062 you insaneG3130.” 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, “I amG3105 not insaneG3105, 28mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347; onG235 theG235 contraryG235, I am speakingG669 outG669 with 29truthfulG225 and rationalG4997 wordsG4487. 26For the kingG935 3031knowsG1987 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 32cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, do you believeG4100 the ProphetsG4396? I knowG3609 that you believeG4100.” 28AgrippaG67 replied to PaulG3972, “33In a shortG3641 time you are going to persuadeG3982 me to 34makeG4160 a 35ChristianG5546 of myself.” 29And PaulG3972 said, “I wouldG2172 36wishG2172 to GodG2316 that evenG2532 37in 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 38chainsG1199.”

3039The 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, “40ThisG3778 manG444 is not doingG4238 anythingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 41imprisonmentG1199.” 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, “ThisG3778 manG444 couldG1410 have beenG1096 42setG630 freeG630 ifG1487 he had not 43appealedG1941 toG1941 CaesarG2541.”
