Acts 26:24-32 ▼

24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, |Paul, you are crazy. Your great learning is driving you insane.|

25 But he said, |I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.

26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.|

28 Agrippa said to Paul, |With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?|

29 Paul said, |I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.|

30 The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.

31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying, |This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.|

32 Agrippa said to Festus, |This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.|
