⮜ Acts 25 | Acts 27 ⮞

1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense. Acts 26:1WEB
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews, Acts 26:2WEB
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently. Acts 26:3WEB
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem; Acts 26:4WEB
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. Acts 26:5WEB
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers, Acts 26:6WEB
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa! Acts 26:7WEB
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead? Acts 26:8WEB
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Acts 26:9WEB
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them. Acts 26:10WEB
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities. Acts 26:11WEB
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests, Acts 26:12WEB
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me. Acts 26:13WEB
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ Acts 26:14WEB
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Acts 26:15WEB
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you; Acts 26:16WEB
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you, Acts 26:17WEB
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ Acts 26:18WEB
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, Acts 26:19WEB
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. Acts 26:20WEB
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. Acts 26:21WEB
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen, Acts 26:22WEB
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.” Acts 26:23WEB
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!” Acts 26:24WEB
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness. Acts 26:25WEB
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner. Acts 26:26WEB
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” Acts 26:27WEB
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?” Acts 26:28WEB
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.” Acts 26:29WEB
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them. Acts 26:30WEB
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.” Acts 26:31WEB
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.” Acts 26:32WEB
