*
Whereupon ,
O king Agrippa ,
I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision :
*
But shewed first unto them of Damascus ,
and at Jerusalem ,
and throughout all the coasts of Judaea ,
and then to the Gentiles ,
that they should repent and turn to God ,
and do works meet for repentance .
*
For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple ,
and went about to kill me .
*
Having therefore obtained help of God ,
I continue unto this day ,
witnessing both to small and great ,
saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come :
*
That Christ should suffer ,
and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead ,
and should shew light unto the people ,
and to the Gentiles .
*
And as he thus spake for himself ,
Festus said with a loud voice ,
Paul ,
thou art beside thyself ;
much learning doth make thee mad .
*
But he said ,
I am not mad ,
most noble Festus ;
but speak forth the words of truth and soberness .
*
For the king knoweth of these things ,
before whom also I speak freely :
for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him ;
for this thing was not done in a corner .
*
King Agrippa ,
believest thou the prophets ?
I know that thou believest .
*
Then Agrippa said unto Paul ,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian .
