And as he was thus speaking in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning is making thee mad.

Willing

And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also; (then were the days of unleavened bread;)

And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.

For do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Or am I endeavoring to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
