Acts 26:28-32 ▼

28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time [and with so little effort] you [almost] persuade me to become a Christian.”

29 And Paul replied, “Whether in a short time or long, I wish to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these chains.”

30 Then the king stood up, and [with him] the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them;

31 and after they had gone out, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything worthy of death or [even] of imprisonment.”

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar (Emperor Nero).”
