1 THEN A-grip’pa said to Paul, You have permission to speak in your own behalf. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and answered, saying, 2 In view of all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews, I consider myself blessed, O King A-grip’pa, to defend myself today before you. 3 Especially because I know you are familiar with all the customs and questions and laws of the Jews: wherefore, I beg you to hear me patiently. 4 Even the Jews themselves, if they would be willing to testify, know well my manner of life from my childhood which started first among mine own people at Jerusalem. 5 For they have been acquainted with me a long time, and know that I was brought up with the excellent doctrine of the Phar’i-sees.
