Acts 26:25-32

²⁵“I am not mad, your Excellency,” he replied; “on the contrary, the statements that I am making are true and sober.

²⁶Indeed, the king knows about these matters, so I speak before him without constraint. I am sure that there is nothing whatever of what I have been telling him that has escaped his attention; for all this has not been done in a corner.

²⁷King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

²⁸But Agrippa said to Paul, “You are soon trying to make a Christian of me!”

²⁹“Whether it is soon or late,” answered Paul, “I pray to God that not only you, but all who are listening to me, might today become just what I am myself — except for these chains!”

³⁰Then the king rose, with the Governor and Bernice and those who had been sitting with them,

³¹and, after retiring, discussed the case amongst themselves. “There is nothing,” they said, “deserving death or imprisonment in this man's conduct”;

³²and, speaking to Festus, Agrippa added, “The man might have been discharged, if he had not appealed to the Emperor.”
