To whom I gave answer that it is not the Roman way to give a man up, till he has been face to face with those who are attacking him, and has had a chance to give an answer to the statements made against him.

To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame.

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

Stretched

Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;

Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.

Answered

In my opinion I am happy, King Agrippa, to be able to give my answer before you today to all these things which the Jews say against me:

My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.
