Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 And while he made a defense by these things, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, thou are mad. Much scholarship is driving thee into madness.
25 But Paul says, I am not mad, eminent Festus, but I speak forth sayings of truth and soberness. 26 For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do thou believe the prophets? I know that thou believe.
28 And Agrippa said to Paul, By a little thou persuade me to become a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.
30 And when he spoke these things, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them. 31 And having withdrawn, they spoke to each other, saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been released, if he had not appealed Caesar.
