unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him.

Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.

'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'

Stretched

Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

And lo, I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I diminish thy portion, And give thee to the desire of those hating thee, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed of thy wicked way.

and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'

Answered

'Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day,

Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defence now unto you;' --
