1: Agrippa_G0067 then_G1161 to_G4314 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 was saying,_G5346 It is permitted_G2010 you_G4771 for_G5228 yourself_G4572 to speak._G3004 Then_G5119 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 having stretched out_G1614 the_G3588 hand,_G5495 began his defense:_G0626

2: Concerning_G4012 all_G3956 of which_G3739 I am accused_G1458 by_G5259 [the] Jews,_G2453 King_G0935 Agrippa,_G0067 I esteem_G2233 myself_G1683 fortunate_G3107 before_G1909 you,_G4771 being about_G3195 today_G4594 to defend myself._G0626

3: Especially_G3122 acquainted_G1109 being_G1510 you_G4771 with all_G3956 the_G3588 of_G2596 [the] Jews_G2453 customs,_G1485 and_G5037 also_G2532 controversies;_G2213 therefore_G1352 I implore [you]_G1189 patiently_G3116 to hear_G0191 me._G1473

4: The_G3588 indeed_G3303 then_G3767 manner of life_G0981 of me,_G1473 which [is]_G3588 from_G1537 youth,_G3503 -_G3588 from [its]_G0575 beginning_G0746 having been_G1096 among_G1722 the_G3588 nation_G1484 of me,_G1473 in_G1722 also_G5037 Jerusalem,_G2414 know_G1492 all_G3956 the_G3588 Jews,_G2453

5: knowing_G4267 me_G1473 from the first,_G0509 if_G1437 they would be willing_G2309 to testify,_G3140 that_G3754 according to_G2596 the_G3588 strictest_G0196 sect_G0139 -_G3588 of our_G2251 religion_G2356 I lived [as]_G2198 a Pharisee._G5330

6: And_G2532 now_G3568 for [the]_G1909 hope_G1680 of the_G3588 to_G1519 the_G3588 fathers_G3962 of us_G1473 promise_G1860 having been made_G1096 by_G5259 -_G3588 God,_G2316 I stand_G2476 being judged,_G2919

7: to_G1519 which_G3739 the_G3588 twelve tribes_G1429 of us_G1473 in_G1722 earnestness,_G1616 night_G3571 and_G2532 day,_G2250 serving,_G3000 hope_G1679 to attain;_G2658 concerning_G4012 which_G3739 hope_G1680 I am accused_G1458 by_G5259 the Jews,_G2453 O king._G0935

8: Why_G5101 incredible_G0571 is it judged_G2919 by_G3844 you_G4771 if_G1487 -_G3588 God_G2316 [the] dead_G3498 raises?_G1453

9: I_G1473 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 thought_G1380 in myself_G1683 to_G4314 the_G3588 name_G3686 of Jesus_G2424 -_G3588 of Nazareth,_G3480 I ought_G1163 many things_G4183 contrary_G1727 to do,_G4238

10: which_G3739 also_G2532 I did_G4160 in_G1722 Jerusalem;_G2414 and_G2532 many_G4183 also_G5037 of the_G3588 saints_G0040 I_G1473 in_G1722 prisons_G5438 locked up,_G2623 the_G3588 from_G3844 the_G3588 chief priests_G0749 authority_G1849 having received;_G2983 being put to death_G0337 then_G5037 they,_G0846 I cast against [them]_G2702 a vote._G5586

11: And_G2532 in_G2596 all_G3956 the_G3588 synagogues,_G4864 often_G4178 punishing_G5097 them,_G0846 I was compelling [them]_G0315 to blaspheme._G0987 Exceedingly_G4057 then_G5037 being furious_G1693 against them,_G0846 I kept persecuting [them]_G1377 as far as_G2193 even_G2532 to_G1519 -_G3588 foreign_G1854 cities,_G4172

12: during_G1722 which,_G3739 journeying_G4198 to_G1519 -_G3588 Damascus_G1154 with_G3326 [the] authority_G1849 and_G2532 commission_G2011 of_G3588 the_G3588 chief priests,_G0749

13: day_G2250 mid_G3319 on_G2596 the_G3588 road_G3598 I saw,_G3708 O king,_G0935 from heaven_G3771 above,_G5228 the_G3588 brightness_G2987 of the_G3588 sun,_G2246 having shone around_G4034 me,_G1473 a light;_G5457 and_G2532 those_G3588 with_G4862 me_G1473 journeying._G4198

14: All_G3956 and_G5037 having fallen down_G2667 of us_G1473 to_G1519 the_G3588 ground,_G1093 I heard_G0191 a voice_G5456 saying_G3004 to_G4314 me_G1473 in the_G3588 Hebrew_G1446 language,_G1258 Saul,_G4549 Saul,_G4549 why_G5101 Me_G1473 persecute you?_G1377 [It is] hard_G4642 for you_G4771 against_G4314 [the] goads_G2759 to kick._G2979

15: I_G1473 then_G1161 said,_G2036 Who_G5101 are You,_G1510 Lord?_G2962 -_G3588 And_G1161 the Lord_G2962 said,_G2036 I_G1473 am_G1510 Jesus,_G2424 whom_G3739 you_G4771 are persecuting._G1377

16: But_G0235 rise up_G0450 and_G2532 stand_G2476 on_G1909 the_G3588 feet_G4228 of you;_G4771 for this_G1519 purpose_G3778 for_G1063 I have appeared_G3708 to you,_G4771 to appoint_G4400 you_G4771 a servant_G5257 and_G2532 a witness_G3144 of that which_G3739 both_G5037 you have seen_G3708 of Me,_G1473 of the things in which_G3739 then_G5037 I will appear_G3708 to you,_G4771

17: delivering_G1807 you_G4771 out from_G1537 the_G3588 people_G2992 and_G2532 from_G1537 the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 to_G1519 whom_G3739 I_G1473 am sending_G0649 you,_G4771

18: to open_G0455 eyes_G3788 of them,_G0846 that_G3588 they may turn_G1994 from_G0575 darkness_G4655 to_G1519 light,_G5457 and_G2532 from the_G3588 power_G1849 -_G3588 of Satan_G4567 to_G1909 -_G3588 God,_G2316 [that]_G3588 may receive_G2983 they_G0846 forgiveness_G0859 of sins_G0266 and_G2532 [an] inheritance_G2819 among_G1722 those_G3588 having been sanctified_G0037 by faith_G4102 that [is]_G3588 in_G1519 Me._G1473

19: So then,_G3606 O king_G0935 Agrippa,_G0067 not_G3756 I was_G1096 disobedient_G0545 to the_G3588 heavenly_G3770 vision,_G3701

20: but_G0235 to those_G3588 in_G1722 Damascus_G1154 first,_G4412 both_G5037 and_G2532 Jerusalem_G2414 all,_G3956 and_G5037 the_G3588 region_G5561 -_G3588 of Judea,_G2449 and_G2532 to the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 I kept declaring_G0518 to repent_G3340 and_G2532 to turn_G1994 to_G1909 -_G3588 God,_G2316 worthy_G0514 -_G3588 of repentance_G3341 works_G2041 doing._G4238

21: On account of_G1752 these things,_G3778 me_G1473 the Jews_G2453 having seized_G4815 being_G1510 in_G1722 the_G3588 temple,_G2411 they were attempting_G3987 to kill._G1315

22: Help_G1947 therefore_G3767 having obtained_G5177 -_G3588 from_G0575 -_G3588 God_G2316 unto_G0891 the_G3588 day_G2250 this,_G3778 I have stood,_G2476 bearing witness_G3143 to small_G3398 both_G5037 and_G2532 to great,_G3173 nothing_G3762 other_G1622 saying_G3004 than what_G3739 both_G5037 the_G3588 prophets_G4396 said_G2980 was about_G3195 to happen,_G1096 and_G2532 Moses,_G3475

23: that_G1487 would suffer_G3805 the_G3588 Christ;_G5547 as_G1487 first_G4413 through_G1537 resurrection_G0386 from [the] dead,_G3498 light_G5457 He is about_G3195 to preach_G2605 to_G3588 both_G5037 our people_G2992 and_G2532 to the_G3588 Gentiles._G1484

24: These things_G3778 now_G1161 of him_G0846 saying in his defense,_G0626 -_G3588 Festus_G5347 in a loud_G3173 -_G3588 voice_G5456 said,_G5346 You are insane,_G3105 Paul!_G3972 The_G3588 great_G4183 of you_G4771 learning,_G1121 to_G1519 insanity_G3130 turns [you]!_G4062

25: -_G3588 But_G1161 Paul,_G3972 Not_G3756 I am insane,_G3105 says,_G5346 most excellent_G2903 Festus,_G5347 but_G0235 of truth_G0225 and_G2532 sobriety_G4997 words_G4487 I utter._G0669

26: Understands_G1987 for_G1063 concerning_G4012 these things_G3778 the_G3588 king,_G0935 to_G4314 whom_G3739 also_G2532 using boldness_G3955 I speak._G2980 Are hidden from_G2990 for_G1063 him_G0846 any_G5100 of these things_G3778 not._G3756 I am persuaded_G3982 none_G3762 not_G3756 for_G1063 is_G1510 in_G1722 a corner_G1137 done,_G4238 of these things._G3778

27: Believe you,_G4100 King_G0935 Agrippa,_G0067 the_G3588 prophets?_G4396 I know_G1492 that_G3754 you believe._G4100

28: -_G3588 Then_G1161 Agrippa_G0067 [said] to_G4314 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 Within_G1722 so little_G3641 me_G1473 do you persuade_G3982 a Christian_G5546 to become?_G4160

29: -_G3588 And_G1161 Paul [said],_G3972 I would wish_G2172 -_G0302 -_G3588 to God,_G2316 both_G2532 in_G1722 a little_G3641 and_G2532 in_G1722 much,_G3173 not_G3756 only_G3440 you_G4771 but_G0235 also_G2532 all_G3956 those_G3588 hearing_G0191 me_G1473 this day,_G4594 to become_G1096 such_G5108 as_G3697 also_G2532 I_G1473 am,_G1510 except_G3924 the_G3588 chains_G1199 these._G3778

30: Rose up_G0450 then_G5037 the_G3588 king_G0935 and_G2532 the_G3588 governor_G2232 -_G3588 and_G5037 Bernice_G0959 and_G2532 those_G3588 sitting with_G4775 them,_G0846

31: and_G2532 having withdrawn,_G0402 they began speaking_G2980 to_G4314 one another_G0240 saying_G3004 -,_G3754 Nothing_G3762 of death_G2288 or_G2228 of chains_G1199 worthy_G0514 any_G5100 is doing_G4238 the_G3588 man_G0444 this._G3778

32: Agrippa_G0067 then_G1161 to_G3588 Festus_G5347 was saying,_G5346 Have been released_G0630 could_G1410 the_G3588 man_G0444 this,_G3778 if_G1487 not_G3361 he had appealed_G1941 to Caesar._G2541
