Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who are present here with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have made protests to me, at Jerusalem and in this place, saying that it is not right for him to be living any longer.

But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

And Agrippa said to Paul, You may put your cause before us. Then Paul, stretching out his hand, made his answer, saying:

In my opinion I am happy, King Agrippa, to be able to give my answer before you today to all these things which the Jews say against me:

So, then, King Agrippa, I did not go against the vision from heaven;

King Agrippa, have you faith in the prophets? I am certain that you have.

And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.
