Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 And, as he was saying these things in defense, Festus says with a loud voice, "Paul, you are mad! your much learning is turning you mad!"
25 But Paul says, "I am not mad, most noble Festus; but I utter words of truth and soberness. 26 For the king knows well concerning these things, to whom also I speak boldly; for I am persuaded that no one of these things is hidden from him; for this has not been done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
28 And Agrippa said to Paul, "In a small degree you are persuading me to make a Christian!"
29 And Paul said, "I could pray God, that, both in a small degree and in a great degree, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, may become such as I am, except these chains!"
30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them; 31 and, having withdrawn, they were talking one to another, saying, "This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set at liberty, had he not appealed to Caesar."
