26:1 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 5713 unto 4314 Paul 3972, Thou 4671 art permitted 2010 5743 to speak 3004 5721 for 5228 thyself 4572. Then 5119 Paul 3972 stretched forth 1614 5660 the hand 5495, and answered for himself 626 5711:

26:2 I think 2233 5766 myself 1683 happy 3107, king 935 Agrippa 67, because I shall 3195 5723 answer for myself 626 5738 this day 4594 before 1909 thee 4675 touching 4012 all the things 3956 whereof 3739 I am accused 1458 5743 of 5259 the Jews 2453:

26:3 Especially 3122 [because I know 1492 5761] thee 4571 to be 5607 5752 expert 1109 5037 in all 3956 customs 1485 and 2532 questions 2213 which are among 2596 the Jews 2453: wherefore 1352 I beseech 1189 5736 thee 4675 to hear 191 5658 me 3450 patiently 3116.

26:4 My 3450 manner 3303 3767 of life 981 from 1537 my youth 3503, which 3588 was 1096 5637 at 575 the first 746 among 1722 mine 3450 own nation 1484 at 1722 Jerusalem 2414, know 2467 5758 all 3956 the Jews 2453;

26:5 Which knew 4267 5723 me 3165 from the beginning 509, if 1437 they would 2309 5725 testify 3140 5721, that 3754 after 2596 the most straitest 196 sect 139 of our 2251 religion 2356 I lived 2198 5656 a Pharisee 5330.

26:6 And 2532 now 3568 I stand 2476 5758 and am judged 2919 5746 for 1909 the hope 1680 of the promise 1860 made 1096 5637 of 5259 God 2316 unto 4314 our fathers 3962:

26:7 Unto 1519 which 3739 [promise] our 2257 twelve tribes 1429, instantly 1722 1616 serving 3000 5723 [God] day 2250 and 2532 night 3571, hope 1679 5719 to come 2658 5658. For 4012 which 3739 hope's sake 1680, king 935 Agrippa 67, I am accused 1458 5743 of 5259 the Jews 2453.(day and night: Gr. night and day)

26:8 Why 5101 should it be thought a thing 2919 5743 incredible 571 with 3844 you 5213, that 1487 God 2316 should raise 1453 5719 the dead 3498?

26:9 I 1473 verily 3303 3767 thought 1380 5656 with myself 1683, that I ought 1163 5750 to do 4238 5658 many things 4183 contrary 1727 to 4314 the name 3686 of Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480.

26:10 Which thing 3739 I 4160 0 also 2532 did 4160 5656 in 1722 Jerusalem 2414: and 2532 many 4183 of the saints 40 did 2623 0 I 1473 shut up 2623 5656 in prison 5438, having received 2983 5631 authority 1849 from 3844 the chief priests 749; and 5037 when they 846 were put to death 337 5746, I gave 2702 5656 my voice 5586 against [them].

26:11 And 2532 I punished 5097 5723 them 846 oft 4178 in 2596 every 3956 synagogue 4864, and compelled 315 5707 [them] to blaspheme 987 5721; and 5037 being 1693 0 exceedingly 4057 mad against 1693 5740 them 846, I persecuted 1377 5707 [them] even 2532 unto 1519 2193 strange 1854 cities 4172.

26:12 2532 Whereupon 1722 3739 as I went 4198 5740 to 1519 Damascus 1154 with 3326 authority 1849 and 2532 commission 2011 from 3844 the chief priests 749,

26:13 At midday 2250 3319, O king 935, I saw 1492 5627 in 2596 the way 3598 a light 5457 from heaven 3771, above 5228 the brightness 2987 of the sun 2246, shining round about 4034 5660 me 3165 and 2532 them which journeyed 4198 5740 with 4862 me 1698.

26:14 And 1161 when we 2257 were 2667 0 all 3956 fallen 2667 5631 to 1519 the earth 1093, I heard 191 5656 a voice 5456 speaking 2980 5723 unto 4314 me 3165, and 2532 saying 3004 5723 in the Hebrew 1446 tongue 1258, Saul 4549, Saul 4549, why 5101 persecutest thou 1377 5719 me 3165? [it is] hard 4642 for thee 4671 to kick 2979 5721 against 4314 the pricks 2759.

26:15 And 1161 I 1473 said 2036 5627, Who 5101 art thou 1488 5748, Lord 2962? And 1161 he said 2036 5627, I 1473 am 1510 5748 Jesus 2424 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest 1377 5719.

26:16 But 235 rise 450 5628, and 2532 stand 2476 5628 upon 1909 thy 4675 feet 4228: for 1063 I have appeared 3700 5681 unto thee 4671 for 1519 this purpose 5124, to make 4400 5664 thee 4571 a minister 5257 and 2532 a witness 3144 both 5037 of these things which 3739 thou hast seen 1492 5627, and 5037 of those things in the which 3739 I will appear 3700 5701 unto thee 4671;

26:17 Delivering 1807 5734 thee 4571 from 1537 the people 2992, and 2532 [from] the Gentiles 1484, unto 1519 whom 3739 now 3568 I send 649 5719 thee 4571,

26:18 To open 455 5658 their 846 eyes 3788, [and] to turn 1994 5658 [them] from 575 darkness 4655 to 1519 light 5457, and 2532 [from] the power 1849 of Satan 4567 unto 1909 God 2316, that they 846 may receive 2983 5629 forgiveness 859 of sins 266, and 2532 inheritance 2819 among 1722 them which are sanctified 37 5772 by faith 4102 that is in 1519 me 1691.

26:19 Whereupon 3606, O king 935 Agrippa 67, I was 1096 5633 not 3756 disobedient 545 unto the heavenly 3770 vision 3701:

26:20 But 235 shewed 518 5723 5625 518 5707 first 4412 unto them of 1722 Damascus 1154, and 2532 at Jerusalem 2414, and 5037 throughout 1519 all 3956 the coasts 5561 of Judaea 2449, and 2532 [then] to the Gentiles 1484, that they should repent 3340 5721 and 2532 turn 1994 5721 to 1909 God 2316, and do 4238 5723 works 2041 meet 514 for repentance 3341.

26:21 For 1752 these causes 5130 the Jews 2453 caught 4815 5642 me 3165 in 1722 the temple 2411, and went about 3987 5711 to kill 1315 5670 [me].

26:22 Having 5177 0 therefore 3767 obtained 5177 5631 help 1947 of 3844 God 2316, I continue 2476 5758 unto 891 this 5026 day 2250, witnessing 3140 5746 both 5037 to small 3398 and 2532 great 3173, saying 3004 5723 none other things 3762 than 1622 those which 3739 5037 the prophets 4396 and 2532 Moses 3475 did say 2980 5656 should 3195 5723 come 1096 5738:

26:23 That 1487 Christ 5547 should suffer 3805, [and] that 1487 he should be the first 4413 that should rise 386 from 1537 the dead 3498, and should 3195 5719 shew 2605 5721 light 5457 unto the people 2992, and 2532 to the Gentiles 1484.

26:24 And 1161 as he 846 thus 5023 spake for himself 626 5740, Festus 5347 said 5346 5713 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, Paul 3972, thou art beside thyself 3105 5736; much 4183 learning 1121 doth make 4062 5719 thee 4571 mad 1519 3130.

26:25 But 1161 he said 5346 5748, I am 3105 0 not 3756 mad 3105 5736, most noble 2903 Festus 5347; but 235 speak forth 669 5736 the words 4487 of truth 225 and 2532 soberness 4997.

26:26 For 1063 the king 935 knoweth 1987 5736 of 4012 these 5130 things, before 4314 whom 3739 also 2532 I speak 2980 5719 freely 3955 5740: for 1063 I am persuaded 3982 5743 that 3756 none 5100 3762 of these things 5130 are hidden 2990 5721 from him 846; for 1063 this thing 5124 was 2076 5748 not 3756 done 4238 5772 in 1722 a corner 1137.

26:27 King 935 Agrippa 67, believest thou 4100 5719 the prophets 4396? I know 1492 5758 that 3754 thou believest 4100 5719.

26:28 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 5713 unto 4314 Paul 3972, Almost 1722 3641 thou persuadest 3982 5719 me 3165 to be 1096 5635 a Christian 5546.

26:29 And 1161 Paul 3972 said 2036 5627, I would 302 2172 5665 to God 2316, that not 3756 only 3440 thou 4571, but 235 also 2532 all 3956 that hear 191 5723 me 3450 this day 4594, were 1096 5635 both 2532 almost 1722 3641, and 2532 altogether 1722 4183 such 5108 as 3697 2504 I am 1510 5748, except 3924 these 5130 bonds 1199.

26:30 And 2532 when he 846 had 2036 0 thus 5023 spoken 2036 5631, the king 935 rose up 450 5627, and 2532 the governor 2232, and 5037 Bernice 959, and 2532 they that sat with 4775 5740 them 846:

26:31 And 2532 when they were gone aside 402 5660, they talked 2980 5707 between 4314 themselves 240, saying 3004 5723, 3754 This 3778 man 444 doeth 4238 5719 nothing 3762 worthy 514 of death 2288 or 2228 of bonds 1199.

26:32 Then 1161 said 5346 5713 Agrippa 67 unto Festus 5347, This 3778 man 444 might 1410 5711 have been set at liberty 630 5771, if 1508 0 he had 1941 0 not 1508 appealed unto 1941 5716 Caesar 2541.
