Acts 26:15-32

¹⁵And I sayde: Who arte thou lorde? And he sayde I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.

¹⁶But ryse and stond vp on thy fete. For I have apered vnto the for this purpose to make the a minister and a witnes both of tho thinges which thou hast sene and of tho thinges in the which I will appere vnto the

¹⁷delyverynge the from the people and from the gentyls vnto which nowe I sende the

¹⁸to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritaunce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.

¹⁹Wherfore kynge Agrippa I was not disobedient vnto the hevenly vision:

²⁰but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco and at Ierusalem and thorow out all the costes of Iewry and to the gentyls that they shuld repent and turne to God and do the ryght workes of repentaunce.

²¹For this cause the Iewes caught me in the temple and went about to kyll me.

²²Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come

²³that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.

²⁴As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.

²⁵And Paul sayde: I am not mad most dere Festus: but speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.

²⁶The kynge knoweth of these thinges before whom I speke frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thinges are hydden from him. For this thinge was not done in a corner.

²⁷Kynge Agrippa belevest thou the prophetes? I wote well thou belevest.

²⁸Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.

²⁹And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.

³⁰And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.

³¹And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.

³²Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.
