1 And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul reaching forth his hand, proceeded with his defence: 2 O king Agrippa, I consider myself happy, being about this day to make my defence before thee concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews: 3 especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: therefore I pray you to hear me patiently. 4 Moreover indeed all the Jews know my life from my youth; being from the beginning in my nation and in Jerusalem, 5 knowing me originally, if they may be willing to testify, that according to the most rigid sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
