Deeds (Act) of Apostles 26:3-9

³mostly for thou knowest all things that be among Jews, customs and questions. For which thing, I beseech, hear me patiently.

⁴For all Jews that before knew me from the beginning, know my life from youth;

⁵that from the beginning was in my folk in Jerusalem, if they will bear witnessing or bear witness, that by the most certain sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

⁶And now for the hope of repromission, that is made to our fathers of God, I stand subject in doom;

⁷in which hope our twelve lineages, serving night and day hope to come; of which hope, sir king, I am accused of the Jews.

⁸What unbelieveful thing is deemed at you, if God raiseth dead men?

⁹And soothly I guessed, that I ought to do many contrary things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
