Paul Before Agrippa

¹³ And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.

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

²⁸ Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”

Paul’s Early Life

26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.”

So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself:

²² Then ^(A)Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”

“Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

²³ So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great ^[a]pomp, and had entered the auditorium with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at Festus’ command ^(B)Paul was brought in.

⁴⁰ But Philip was found at ^[a]Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to ^(A)Caesarea.

¹⁰ then Toi sent ^[a]Joram his son to King David, to ^[b]greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi); and Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze.

¹⁴ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he ^[a]reviled them.

¹⁰ Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might ^[a]greet him.

¹⁸ and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

^13 (A)Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?”

So they answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah; we have come down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother.”
