Acts 26:4-9

⁴As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes,

⁵Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise.

⁶And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.

⁷Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.

⁸Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?

⁹I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
