Acts 26:22-32 ▼

22 Seyng therefore, that I haue obtayned helpe of God, I continue vnto this day, witnessyng both to small and to great, saying none other thynges, then those which the prophetes and Moyses dyd say shoulde come:

23 That Christe shoulde suffer, and that he shoulde be the first that shoulde ryse from the dead, and shoulde shewe lyght vnto the people, and to the gentiles.

24 And as he thus spake for hym selfe, Festus sayde with a loude voyce: Paul, thou art besyde thy selfe, much learnyng doth make thee mad.

25 But he sayde: I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speake foorth the wordes of trueth and sobernesse.

26 For the kyng knoweth of these thynges, before whom also I speake freely, neither thynke I, that any of these thynges are hydden from him: For this thyng was not done in a corner.

27 Kyng Agrippa, beleuest thou the prophetes? I wote wel that thou beleuest.

28 Then Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Somewhat thou perswadest me to be a christian.

29 And Paul sayde: I woulde to God, that not only thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both somewhat, and also in a great deale, such as I am, except these bondes.

30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose vp, and the deputie, & Bernice, and they that sate with them.

31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betwene the selues, saying: This man doth nothyng worthy of death, or of bondes.

32 Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght haue ben let loose, yf he had not appealed vnto Caesar.
