1 Agrippa said to Paul, |You're free to speak for yourself.| Paul acknowledged King Agrippa and then began his defense. 2 |King Agrippa, I think I'm fortunate today to stand in front of you and defend myself against every charge that the Jews brought against me. 3 I say this since you are especially familiar with every custom and controversy in Judaism. So I ask you to listen patiently to me. 4 |All the Jews know how I lived the earliest days of my youth with my own people and in Jerusalem. 5 They've known me for a long time and can testify, if they're willing, that I followed the strictest party of our religion. They know that I lived my life as a Pharisee. Acts 26:1-5, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
