English Standard Version
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” 28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be (A)a Christian?”[a] 29 And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day (B)might become such as I am—except for (C)these chains.”
30 Then the king rose, and (D)the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. 31 And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, (E)“This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, (F)“This man could have been set (G)free if he had not appealed (H)to Caesar.”
