Acts 26:24-32
Festus Interrupts Paul’s Defense

24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

24:

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

25:

26 For the king 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.

26:

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

27:

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

28:

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

29:

30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

30:

31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

31:

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

32:
