Acts 26:1-18

1ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 toG4314 PaulG3972, ThouG4671 art permittedG2010 to speakG3004 forG5228 thyselfG4572. ThenG5119 PaulG3972 stretched forthG1614 the handG5495, and answered for himselfG626: 2I thinkG2233 myselfG1683 happyG3107, kingG935 AgrippaG67, because I shallG3195 answer for myselfG626 this dayG4594 beforeG1909 theeG4675 concerningG4012 all the thingsG3956 of whichG3739 I am accusedG1458 byG5259 the JewsG2453: 3EspeciallyG3122 because I knowG1492 theeG4571 to beG5607 expertG1109G5037 in allG3956 customsG1485 andG2532 questionsG2213 which are amongG2596 the JewsG2453: thereforeG1352 I beseechG1189 theeG4675 to hearG191 meG3450 patientlyG3116. 4MyG3450 mannerG3303G3767 of lifeG981 fromG1537 my youthG3503, whichG3588 wasG1096 atG575 the firstG746 amongG1722 myG3450 own nationG1484 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, knowG2467 allG3956 the JewsG2453; 5Who knewG4267 meG3165 from the beginningG509, ifG1437 they wouldG2309 testifyG3140, thatG3754 afterG2596 the most strictG196 sectG139 of ourG2251 religionG2356 I livedG2198 a PhariseeG5330. 6AndG2532 nowG3568 I standG2476 and am judgedG2919 forG1909 the hopeG1680 of the promiseG1860 madeG1096 byG5259 GodG2316 toG4314 our fathersG3962: 7ToG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, earnestlyG1722G1616 servingG3000 God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679 to comeG2658. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope’s sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458 byG5259 the JewsG2453.1 8WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498? 9IG1473 verilyG3303G3767 thoughtG1380 with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163 to doG4238 many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480. 10Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623 in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337, I gaveG2702 my voiceG5586 against them . 11AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftenG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693 themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 toG1519G2193 foreignG1854 citiesG4172.

UponG1722 whichG3739 as I wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749, 13At noonG2250G3319, O kingG935, I sawG1492 inG2596 the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, beyondG5228 the brightnessG2987 of the sunG2246, shining aroundG4034 meG3165 andG2532 them who journeyedG4198 withG4862 meG1698. 14AndG1161 when weG2257 hadG2667 allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 the earthG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 speakingG2980 toG4314 meG3165, andG2532 sayingG3004 in the HebrewG1446 languageG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165? it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the goadsG2759. 15AndG1161 IG1473 saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377. 16ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700 to theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400 theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of the things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492, andG5037 of the things in whichG3739 I will appearG3700 to theeG4671; 17DeliveringG1807 theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, toG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4571, 18To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 toG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them who are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
