Acts 26:24-32

American Standard Version

²⁴ And as he thus made his defence, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning ^[a]is turning thee mad. ²⁵ But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness. ²⁶ For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner. ²⁷ King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. ²⁸ And Agrippa said unto Paul, ^[b]With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian. ²⁹ And Paul said, I would to God, that ^[c]whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.

³⁰ And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: ³¹ and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. ³² And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
