Acts 26:27-31

²⁷Then Paul asked, “King Agrippa, do you believe what the prophets wrote? I know that you (sg) believe it.”

²⁸Then Agrippa answered Paul, “◄ I hope that you(sg) do not think that by the few things that you have just now said you can persuade me to become a Christian!/You do not think, do you, that by the few things that you have just now said you can persuade me to become a Christian?►” RHQ

²⁹Paul replied, “Whether it takes a short time or a long time, it does not matter. I pray to God that you and also all of the others who are listening to me today will also believe in Jesus like I do, but I do not want you to become prisoners MTY like I am.”

³⁰Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others got up

³¹and left the room. While they were talking to one another they said to each other, “There is no reason why ◄the authorities/we► should execute this man, or that he should even be kept in prison MTY.”
