Acts 26:24-32

21st Century King James Version

²⁴ And as he thus spoke for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, thou art beside thyself! Much learning doth make thee mad!”

²⁵ But Paul said, “I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

²⁶ For the king himself knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him, for this thing was not done in a corner.

²⁷ King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.”

²⁸ Then Agrippa said unto Paul, “Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian.”

²⁹ And Paul said, “I would to God that not only thou, but also all who hear me this day, were both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these bonds.”

³⁰ And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and also the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them.

³¹ And when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, “This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”

³² Then said Agrippa unto Festus, “This man might have been set at liberty if he had not appealed unto Caesar.”
