Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 As thus he was proceeding in his defence, Festus with a loud voice said, Paul, thou art raving; much reading hath driven thee to madness.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but utter words of truth and sobriety. 26 For the king is well acquainted with these things, before whom also I speak with the greatest freedom. For I am persuaded that none of these events have escaped his notice; for this thing was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa! believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul replied, would to God, that not only thou, but also that all who are hearing me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these chains.
30 So when he had thus spoken, the king arose, and the governor, and Bernice, and they who sat with him, 31 and retiring, conversed together, saying, This man hath done nothing worthy of death, or of chains.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been discharged, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
