Acts 26:24–32

²⁴As he spoke these things and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.

²⁵And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.

²⁶For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.

²⁷Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.

²⁸And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.

²⁹And Paul said: I would to God that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.

³⁰And the king rose up, and the governor and Bernice and they that sat with them.

³¹And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.

³²And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
