1 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 unto 4314 Paul 3972, Thou 4671 art permitted 2010 to speak 3004 for 5228 thyself 4572. Then 5119 Paul 3972 stretched forth 1614 the hand 5495, and answered for himself 626:
2 I think 2233 myself 1683 happy 3107, king 935 Agrippa 67, because I shall 3195 answer for myself 626 this day 4594 before 1909 thee 4675 touching 4012 all the things 3956 whereof 3739 I am accused 1458 of 5259 the Jews 2453:
3 Especially 3122 because I know 1492 thee 4571 to be 5607 expert 1109 5037 in all 3956 customs 1485 and 2532 questions 2213 which are among 2596 the Jews 2453: wherefore 1352 I beseech 1189 thee 4675 to hear 191 me 3450 patiently 3116.
4 My 3450 manner 3303 3767 of life 981 from 1537 my youth 3503, which 3588 was 1096 at 575 the first 746 among 1722 mine 3450 own nation 1484 at 1722 Jerusalem 2414, know 2467 all 3956 the Jews 2453;
5 Which knew 4267 me 3165 from the beginning 509, if 1437 they would 2309 testify 3140, that 3754 after 2596 the most straitest 196 sect 139 of our 2251 religion 2356 I lived 2198 a Pharisee 5330.
6 And 2532 now 3568 I stand 2476 and am judged 2919 for 1909 the hope 1680 of the promise 1860 made 1096 of 5259 God 2316 unto 4314 our fathers 3962:
7 Unto 1519 which 3739 promise our 2257 twelve tribes 1429, instantly 1722 1616 serving 3000 God day 2250 and 2532 night 3571, hope 1679 to come 2658. For 4012 which 3739 hope's sake 1680, king 935 Agrippa 67, I am accused 1458 of 5259 the Jews 2453.
8 Why 5101 should it be thought a thing 2919 incredible 571 with 3844 you 5213, that 1487 God 2316 should raise 1453 the dead 3498?
9 I 1473 verily 3303 3767 thought 1380 with myself 1683, that I ought 1163 to do 4238 many things 4183 contrary 1727 to 4314 the name 3686 of Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480.
10 Which thing 3739 I 4160 0 also 2532 did 4160 in 1722 Jerusalem 2414: and 2532 many 4183 of the saints 40 did 2623 0 I 1473 shut up 2623 in prison 5438, having received 2983 authority 1849 from 3844 the chief priests 749; and 5037 when they 846 were put to death 337, I gave 2702 my voice 5586 against them.
11 And 2532 I punished 5097 them 846 oft 4178 in 2596 every 3956 synagogue 4864, and compelled 315 them to blaspheme 987; and 5037 being 1693 0 exceedingly 4057 mad against 1693 them 846, I persecuted 1377 them even 2532 unto 1519 2193 strange 1854 cities 4172.
12 2532 Whereupon 1722 3739 as I went 4198 to 1519 Damascus 1154 with 3326 authority 1849 and 2532 commission 2011 from 3844 the chief priests 749,
13 At midday 2250 3319, O king 935, I saw 1492 in 2596 the way 3598 a light 5457 from heaven 3771, above 5228 the brightness 2987 of the sun 2246, shining round about 4034 me 3165 and 2532 them which journeyed 4198 with 4862 me 1698.
14 And 1161 when we 2257 were 2667 0 all 3956 fallen 2667 to 1519 the earth 1093, I heard 191 a voice 5456 speaking 2980 unto 4314 me 3165, and 2532 saying 3004 in the Hebrew 1446 tongue 1258, Saul 4549, Saul 4549, why 5101 persecutest thou 1377 me 3165? it is hard 4642 for thee 4671 to kick 2979 against 4314 the pricks 2759.
15 And 1161 I 1473 said 2036, Who 5101 art thou 1488, Lord 2962? And 1161 he said 2036, I 1473 am 1510 Jesus 2424 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest 1377.
16 But 235 rise 450, and 2532 stand 2476 upon 1909 thy 4675 feet 4228: for 1063 I have appeared 3700 unto thee 4671 for 1519 this purpose 5124, to make 4400 thee 4571 a minister 5257 and 2532 a witness 3144 both 5037 of these things which 3739 thou hast seen 1492, and 5037 of those things in the which 3739 I will appear 3700 unto thee 4671;
17 Delivering 1807 thee 4571 from 1537 the people 2992, and 2532 from the Gentiles 1484, unto 1519 whom 3739 now 3568 I send 649 thee 4571,
18 To open 455 their 846 eyes 3788, and to turn 1994 them from 575 darkness 4655 to 1519 light 5457, and 2532 from the power 1849 of Satan 4567 unto 1909 God 2316, that they 846 may receive 2983 forgiveness 859 of sins 266, and 2532 inheritance 2819 among 1722 them which are sanctified 37 by faith 4102 that is in 1519 me 1691.
19 Whereupon 3606, O king 935 Agrippa 67, I was 1096 not 3756 disobedient 545 unto the heavenly 3770 vision 3701:
20 But 235 shewed 518 518 first 4412 unto them of 1722 Damascus 1154, and 2532 at Jerusalem 2414, and 5037 throughout 1519 all 3956 the coasts 5561 of Judaea 2449, and 2532 then to the Gentiles 1484, that they should repent 3340 and 2532 turn 1994 to 1909 God 2316, and do 4238 works 2041 meet 514 for repentance 3341.
21 For 1752 these causes 5130 the Jews 2453 caught 4815 me 3165 in 1722 the temple 2411, and went about 3987 to kill 1315 me.
22 Having 5177 0 therefore 3767 obtained 5177 help 1947 of 3844 God 2316, I continue 2476 unto 891 this 5026 day 2250, witnessing 3140 both 5037 to small 3398 and 2532 great 3173, saying 3004 none other things 3762 than 1622 those which 3739 5037 the prophets 4396 and 2532 Moses 3475 did say 2980 should 3195 come 1096:
23 That 1487 Christ 5547 should suffer 3805, and that 1487 he should be the first 4413 that 1537 should 3195 rise 386 from the dead 3498, and should shew 2605 light 5457 unto the people 2992, and 2532 to the Gentiles 1484.
24 And 1161 as he 846 thus 5023 spake for himself 626, Festus 5347 said 5346 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, Paul 3972, thou art beside thyself 3105; much 4183 learning 1121 doth make 4062 thee 4571 mad 1519 3130.
25 But 1161 he said 5346, I am 3105 0 not 3756 mad 3105, most noble 2903 Festus 5347; but 235 speak forth 669 the words 4487 of truth 225 and 2532 soberness 4997.
26 For 1063 the king 935 knoweth 1987 of 4012 these 5130 things, before 4314 whom 3739 also 2532 I speak 2980 freely 3955: for 1063 I am persuaded 3982 that 3756 none 5100 3762 of these things 5130 are hidden 2990 from him 846; for 1063 this thing 5124 was 2076 not 3756 done 4238 in 1722 a corner 1137.
27 King 935 Agrippa 67, believest thou 4100 the prophets 4396? I know 1492 that 3754 thou believest 4100.
28 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 unto 4314 Paul 3972, Almost 1722 3641 thou persuadest 3982 me 3165 to be 1096 a Christian 5546.
29 And 1161 Paul 3972 said 2036, I would 302 2172 to God 2316, that not 3756 only 3440 thou 4571, but 235 also 2532 all 3956 that hear 191 me 3450 this day 4594, were 1096 both 2532 almost 1722 3641, and 2532 altogether 4183 such 5108 as 3697 2504 I am 1510, except 3924 these 5130 bonds 1199.
30 And 2532 when he had 2036 0 thus 5023 spoken 2036, the king 935 rose up 450, and 2532 the governor 2232, and 5037 Bernice 959, and 2532 they that sat with 4775 them 846:
31 And 2532 when they were gone aside 402, they talked 2980 between 4314 themselves 240, saying 3004, 3754 This 3778 man 444 doeth 4238 nothing 3762 worthy 514 of death 2288 or 2228 of bonds 1199.
32 Then 1161 said 5346 Agrippa 67 unto Festus 5347, This 3778 man 444 might 1410 have been set at liberty 630, if 1508 0 he had 1941 0 not 1508 appealed unto 1941 Caesar 2541.
