Acts 26:16-32
16ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4771 feetG3588G4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3708 unto theeG4771 forG1519 this purposeG3778, to makeG4400 theeG4771 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG3708, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3708 unto theeG4771;
17DeliveringG1807 theeG4771 fromG1537 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG3588G1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4771,
18To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG3588G1849 of SatanG3588G4567 untoG1909 GodG3588G2316, thatG3588 theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them whichG3588 are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1473.
19WhereuponG3606, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096 notG3756 disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701:
20ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto themG3588 ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG3588G5561 of JudæaG3588G2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG3588G1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG3588G2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3588G3341.
21ForG1752 these causesG3778 the JewsG2453 caughtG4815 meG1473 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, and went aboutG3987 to killG1315 me.
22HavingG5177 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 helpG1947 ofG3844 GodG3588G2316, I continueG2476 untoG891 thisG3778 dayG3588G2250, witnessingG3140 bothG5037 to smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004 noneG3762 other thingsG1622 thanG5037 those whichG3739 the prophetsG3588G4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 did sayG2980 shouldG3195 comeG1096:
23ThatG1487 ChristG3588G5547 shouldG3195 sufferG3805, and thatG1487 he should be the firstG4413 that should riseG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and should shewG2605 lightG5457 unto the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 to the GentilesG3588G1484.
24AndG1161 as heG846 thusG3778 spake for himselfG626, FestusG3588G5347 saidG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG3588G5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062 theeG4771 madG3130.
25ButG1161 he saidG5346, I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105, most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669 the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997.
26ForG1063 the kingG3588G935 knowethG1987 ofG4012 these thingsG3778, beforeG4314 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I speakG2980 freelyG3955: forG1063 I am persuadedG3982 that noneG3762 of these thingsG3778 are hidden fromG2990 himG846; forG1063 this thingG3778 wasG1510 notG3756 doneG4238 inG1722 a cornerG1137.
27KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thouG4100 the prophetsG3588G4396? I knowG1492 thatG3754 thou believestG4100.
28ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 PaulG3588G3972, AlmostG3641 thou persuadestG3982 meG1473 to beG1096 a ChristianG5546.
29AndG1161 PaulG3588G3972 saidG3004, I wouldG2172 to GodG3588G2316, thatG2172 notG3756 onlyG3440 thouG4771, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 that hearG3588G191 meG1473 this dayG4594, wereG1096 bothG2532 almostG3641, andG2532 altogetherG1722G4183 suchG5108 asG3697 IG2504 amG1510, exceptG3924 theseG3778 bondsG3588G1199.
30AndG2532 when heG846 hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, the kingG3588G935 rose upG450, andG2532 the governorG3588G2232, andG5037 BerniceG959, andG2532 theyG3588 that satG4775 with themG846:
31AndG2532 when they were gone asideG402, they talkedG2980 betweenG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 manG3588G444 doethG4238 nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199.
32ThenG1161 saidG5346 AgrippaG67 unto FestusG3588G5347, ThisG3778 manG3588G444 might have beenG1410 set at libertyG630, ifG1487 he hadG1941 notG3361 appealedG1941 unto CæsarG2541.
