Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 As he thus answered for himself: Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, thou art besides thyself. Much learning hath made thee mad."
25 And Paul said, "I am not mad, most dear Festus: but speak the words of truth and soberness. 26 The king knoweth of these things, before whom I speak freely: neither think I that any of these things are hidden from him. For this thing was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know well thou believest."
28 Agrippa said unto Paul, "Somewhat thou bringest me in mind for to become Christian."
29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only thou: but also all that hear me today, were not somewhat only, but altogether such as I am; except these bonds. I might persuade not thee only, but all them that hear me this day, to be such as I am, these bonds except."
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the deputy, and Bernice, and they that sat with them. 31 And when they were gone apart, they talked between themselves saying, "This man doth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds."
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, "This man might have been loosed if he had not appealed unto Caesar."
