Acts 26:1-18

1AndG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG3004 unto PaulG3972, Thou art permittedG2010 toG4314 speakG3004 forG5228 thyself. ThenG5119 PaulG3972 stretchedG1614 forth hisG4012 handG5495, andG1161 madeG3004 hisG4012 defence:

2IG3739 think myselfG1683 happyG3107, kingG935 AgrippaG67, thatG3739 IG3739 amG3195 toG1909 makeG626 myG3956 defence beforeG1909 thee thisG3739 dayG4594 touching allG3956 theG3956 thingsG3956 whereof IG3739 amG3195 accusedG1458 byG5259 theG3956 JewsG2453:

3especiallyG3122 becauseG2596 thou art expertG1109 inG2596 allG3956 customsG1485 andG2532 questionsG2213 whichG3588 areG1510 amongG2596 theG3956 JewsG2453: whereforeG1352 IG1473 beseech thee toG2596 hearG191 meG1473 patientlyG3116.

4MyG3956 mannerG981 ofG1537 lifeG981 thenG3767 fromG575 myG3956 youthG3503 up, whichG3588 was fromG575 theG3956 beginningG746 amongG1722 mineG1473 own nationG1484, andG5037 at JerusalemG2414, knowG1492 allG3956 theG3956 JewsG2453;

5havingG3140 knowledge ofG2596 meG1473 fromG2596 theG3588 first, ifG1437 theyG3754 be willingG2309 toG2309 testifyG3140, howG3754 thatG3754 afterG2596 theG3588 straitest sectG139 ofG2596 ourG2251 religionG2356 IG1473 livedG2198 a PhariseeG5330.

6AndG2532 nowG3568 IG1473 standG2476 hereG1519 toG1519 beG1096 judgedG2919 forG1519 theG3588 hopeG1680 ofG2316 theG3588 promiseG1860 madeG1096 ofG2316 GodG2316 unto ourG2316 fathersG3962;

7unto whichG3739 promise ourG2532 twelveG1429 tribesG1429, earnestly servingG3000 GodG3571 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, hopeG1680 toG1519 attainG2658. AndG2532 concerningG4012 thisG3588 hopeG1680 IG1473 amG1473 accusedG1458 byG1722 theG3588 JewsG2453, O kingG935!

8WhyG5101 is it judgedG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5210, ifG1487 GodG2316 doth raiseG1453 theG3588 deadG3498?

9IG1473 verily thoughtG1380 withG4314 myselfG1683, thatG1380 IG1473 oughtG1163 toG4314 doG4238 manyG4183 thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG3686 JesusG2424 ofG3686 NazarethG3480.

10AndG2532 thisG3588 IG1473 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 IG1473 bothG5037 shut upG2623 manyG4183 ofG1722 theG3588 saintsG40 inG1722 prisonsG5438, havingG4160 receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749, andG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 were putG337 toG2532 deathG337, IG1473 gaveG4160 myG1722 voteG5586 againstG1722 themG846.

11AndG2532 punishing themG846 oftentimes inG1519 allG3956 theG3956 synagoguesG4864, IG2532 strove toG1519 make themG846 blasphemeG987; andG2532 being exceedingly mad againstG2596 themG846, IG2532 persecutedG1377 themG846 evenG2532 unto foreignG1854 citiesG4172.

12Whereupon asG1519 IG3739 journeyed toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 theG3588 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 ofG1722 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749,

13at midday, O kingG935, IG1473 sawG3708 onG5228 theG3588 wayG3598 a lightG5457 fromG2596 heavenG3771, aboveG5228 theG3588 brightness ofG2250 theG3588 sunG2246, shiningG4034 round aboutG5228 meG1473 andG2532 themG3708 thatG3708 journeyed withG4862 meG1473.

14AndG5037 whenG191 weG2249 were allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 theG3956 earthG1093, IG1473 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG3004 inG1519 theG3956 HebrewG1446 languageG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou meG3004? itG191 is hardG4642 forG1519 thee toG1519 kick againstG4314 theG3956 goad.

15AndG1161 IG1473 saidG3004, WhoG3739 art thou, LordG2962? AndG1161 theG3588 LordG2962 saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thou persecutest.

16ButG235 ariseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thy feetG4228: forG1063 toG1519 thisG3778 endG1519 have IG1473 appearedG3708 unto thee, toG1519 appointG4400 thee a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 ofG1909 theG3588 thingsG3778 wherein thou hast seenG3708 meG1473, andG2532 ofG1909 theG3588 thingsG3778 wherein IG1473 willG3739 appearG3708 unto thee;

17delivering thee fromG1537 theG3588 peopleG2992, andG2532 fromG1537 theG3588 GentilesG1484, unto whomG3739 IG1473 sendG649 thee,

18toG1519 openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, thatG846 theyG846 mayG2532 turnG1994 fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 fromG575 theG3588 powerG1849 ofG575 SatanG4567 unto GodG2316, thatG846 theyG846 mayG2532 receiveG2983 remission ofG575 sinsG266 andG2532 anG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 themG846 thatG846 are sanctifiedG37 byG1722 faithG4102 inG1722 meG1473.
