³¹ he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of ^[a]the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh ^[b]suffer decay.

Acts 26:22-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

²² So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place; ^23 [a]that ^[b]the Christ was ^[c]to suffer, and ^[d]that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

²⁴ While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus *said in a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind! ^[e]Your great learning is ^[f]driving you mad.” ²⁵ But Paul *said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter words ^[g]of sober truth. ²⁶ For the king ^[h]knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a ^[i]corner. ²⁷ King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you ^[j]do.” ²⁸ Agrippa replied to Paul, “^[k]In a short time you ^[l]will persuade me to ^[m]become a Christian.” ²⁹ And Paul said, “^[n]I would wish to God, that whether ^[o]in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these chains.”

³⁰ The king stood up and the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them, ³¹ and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, “This man is not doing anything worthy of death or ^[p]imprisonment.” ³² And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
