Acts 26:19-32 - Paul Tells Of His Work
19 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; 20 but first to those in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judaea, and then to the gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. 21 For these causes the Jews seized me in the temple, and attempted to kill me. 22 Having, however, obtained help from God, I continue to this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing except those things which the Prophets and Moses said were to come to pass; 23 that the Christ should suffer, and that, as first of those raised from the dead, he was to proclaim light both to the people and to the gentiles.
24 And as he was thus speaking in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning is making thee mad.
25 But he saith, I am not mad, most noble Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness. 26 For the king knoweth about these things well; to whom also I speak boldly; for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him: for this was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the Prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, With little effort thou thinkest to persuade me to become a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that with little effort or with great, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, might be made such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And the king rose up and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them; 31 and going aside they talked with each other, saying, This man is doing nothing deserving death, or bonds.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
