Acts 26:24-32 - Not Quite Persuaded
24 And as he was saying these things in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning turns thy brain.
25 But he replied, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but I speak the words of truth and of a sound mind. 26 For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with freedom; because I am persuaded that none of them are unknown to him; for this was not done in a corner. 27 O king Agrippa, believest thou the prophets?
28 I know that thou believest them. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had said this, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those that sat with them. 31 And when they were retired, they spake to each other, saying, this man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Cesar.
