Acts:26:19-28
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Therefore ,
King Agrippa ,
I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision ,
*
but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem ,
and throughout all the region of Judea ,
and then to the Gentiles ,
that they should repent ,
turn to God ,
and do works befitting repentance .
*
For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me .
*
Therefore ,
having obtained help from God ,
to this day I stand ,
witnessing both to small and great ,
saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come --
*
that the Christ would suffer ,
that He would be the first to rise from the dead ,
and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles ."
*
Now as he thus made his defense ,
Festus said with a loud voice , "
Paul ,
you are beside yourself !
Much learning is driving you mad !"
*
But he said , "
I am not mad ,
most noble Festus ,
but speak the words of truth and reason .
*
For the king ,
before whom I also speak freely ,
knows these things ;
for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention ,
since this thing was not done in a corner .
*
King Agrippa ,
do you believe the prophets ?
I know that you do believe ."
*
Then Agrippa said to Paul , "
You almost persuade me to become a Christian ."
