Acts 26:24-32

24While 1Paul was statingG626 theseG3778 thingsG3778 inG626 his defenseG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “PaulG3972, you areG3105 outG3105 ofG3105 your mindG3105! 2Your greatG4183 3learningG1121 is 4drivingG4062 you insaneG3130.” 25But PaulG3972 saidG5346, “I amG3105 not insaneG3105, 5mostG2903 excellentG2903 FestusG5347; onG235 theG235 contraryG235, I am speakingG669 outG669 with 6truthfulG225 and rationalG4997 wordsG4487. 26For the kingG935 78knowsG1987 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 9cornerG1137. 27KingG935 AgrippaG67, do you believeG4100 the ProphetsG4396? I knowG3609 that you believeG4100.” 28AgrippaG67 replied to PaulG3972, “10In a shortG3641 time you are going to persuadeG3982 me to 11makeG4160 a 12ChristianG5546 of myself.” 29And PaulG3972 said, “I wouldG2172 13wishG2172 to GodG2316 that evenG2532 14in 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 15chainsG1199.”

3016The 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, “17ThisG3778 manG444 is not doingG4238 anythingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 18imprisonmentG1199.” 32And AgrippaG67 saidG5346 to FestusG5347, “ThisG3778 manG444 couldG1410 have beenG1096 19setG630 freeG630 ifG1487 he had not 20appealedG1941 toG1941 CaesarG2541.”
