Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 As Paul continued to make his defense, Festus shouted aloud, "You are going crazy, Paul! That great learning of yours is driving you crazy!"
25 Paul answered, "I am not going crazy, your Excellency, Festus, but I am telling the straight truth. 26 The king, indeed, knows about this and I can speak to him with freedom. I do not believe that any of this escaped his notice, for it did not occur in a corner! 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do."
28 Then Agrippa answered Paul, "In brief you are trying to persuade me and make a Christian of me!"
29 Paul answered, "In brief or at length, I would to God that not only you but all my hearers today were what I am -- excepting these chains!"
30 Then the king rose, with the governor and Bernice and those who had been seated with them, 31 and after leaving the room, as they continued to talk the matter over together, they said, "This man has done nothing to deserve death or imprisonment."
32 Agrippa said to Festus, "He might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to the emperor."
