Actes 26

2 Paul, in the presence of Agrippa, declareth his life from his childhood, 12 and how miraculously he was converted, and called to his apostleship. 24 Festus chargeth him to be mad, whereunto he answereth modestly. 28 Agrippa is almost persuaded to be a Christian. 31 The whole company pronounce him innocent.

 26:1 ¶ Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 z5713 vnto 4314 Paul, 3972 Thou 4671 art permitted 2010 z5743 to speake 3004 z5721 for 5228 thy selfe. 4572 Then 5119 Paul 3972 stretched foorth 1614 z5660 the x3588 hand, 5495 and answered for himselfe, 626 z5711

 26:2 I thinke 2233 z5766 my selfe 1683 happy, 3107 king 935 Agrippa, 67 because I shall 3195 z5723 answere for my selfe 626 z5738 this day 4594 before 1909 thee 4675 touching 4012 all x3956 the things y3956 whereof 3739 I am accused 1458 z5743 of 5259 the Iewes: 2453

 26:3 Especially, 3122 because I know 1492 z5761 thee 4571 to be 5607 z5752 expert 1109 y5037 in all 3956 customes 1485 and 2532 x5037 questions 2213 which are among 2596 the Iewes: 2453 wherefore 1352 I beseech 1189 z5736 thee 4675 to heare 191 z5658 mee 3450 patiently. 3116

 26:4 My 3450 maner y3303 y3767 of life 981 x3303 x3767 from 1537 my youth, 3503 which y3588 was 1096 z5637 at 575 the first 746 among 1722 mine y3450 owne x3450 nation 1484 at 1722 Hierusalem, 2414 know 2467 z5758 all 3956 the x3588 Iewes, 2453

 26:5 Which knew 4267 z5723 me 3165 from the beginning, 509 (if 1437 they would 2309 z5725 testifie) 3140 z5721 that 3754 after 2596 the x3588 most straitest 196 sect 139 of our 2251 religion, 2356 I liued 2198 z5656 a Pharisee. 5330

 26:6 And 2532 now 3568 I stand, 2476 z5758 and am iudged 2919 z5746 for 1909 the hope 1680 of the x3588 promise 1860 made 1096 z5637 of 5259 God 2316 vnto 4314 our fathers: 3962

 26:7 Vnto 1519 which 3739 promise our 2257 twelue tribes 1429 instantly 1722 1616 seruing 3000 z5723 God day 2250 and 2532 night, 3571 hope 1679 z5719 to come: 2658 z5658 For 4012 which 3739 hopes x1680 sake, y1680 King 935 Agrippa, 67 I am accused 1458 z5743 of 5259 the x3588 Iewes. 2453

 26:8 Why 5101 should it be thought x2919 a thing y2919 z5743 incredible 571 with 3844 you, 5213 that 1487 God 2316 should raise 1453 z5719 the dead? 3498

 26:9 I 1473 verily 3303 3767 thought 1380 z5656 with my selfe, 1683 that I ought 1163 z5750 to doe 4238 z5658 many things 4183 contrary 1727 to 4314 the x3588 name 3686 of Iesus 2424 of Nazareth: 3480

 26:10 Which thing 3739 I y4160 z0 also 2532 did 4160 z5656 in 1722 Hierusalem, 2414 and 2532 many 4183 of the x3588 Saints 40 did y2623 z0 I 1473 shut vp 2623 z5656 in prison, 5438 hauing receiued 2983 z5631 authoritie 1849 from 3844 the x3588 chiefe Priests, 749 and 5037 when they 846 were put to death, 337 z5746 I gaue y2702 z5656 my voyce y5586 against x2702 x5586 them.

 26:11 And 2532 I punished 5097 z5723 them 846 oft 4178 in y2596 euery 3956 x2596 Synagogue, 4864 and compelled 315 z5707 them to blaspheme, 987 z5721 and 5037 being y1693 z0 exceedingly y4057 mad against 1693 z5740 x4057 them, 846 I persecuted 1377 z5707 them euen 2532 x2193 vnto 1519 y2193 strange 1854 cities. 4172

 26:12 y2532 Whereupon, 1722 3739 as x2532 I went 4198 z5740 to 1519 Damascus, 1154 with 3326 authoritie 1849 and 2532 commission 2011 from 3844 the x3588 chiefe Priests: 749

 26:13 At midday, 2250 3319 O king, 935 I x1492 saw y1492 z5627 in 2596 the x3588 way 3598 a light 5457 from heauen, 3771 aboue 5228 the x3588 brightnes 2987 of the x3588 Sunne, 2246 shining round about 4034 z5660 mee, 3165 and 2532 them which iourneyed 4198 z5740 with 4862 me. 1698

 26:14 And 1161 when wee 2257 were y2667 z0 all 3956 fallen 2667 z5631 to 1519 the x3588 earth, 1093 I heard 191 z5656 a voice 5456 speaking 2980 z5723 vnto 4314 me, 3165 and 2532 saying 3004 z5723 in the x3588 Hebrew 1446 tongue, 1258 Saul, 4549 Saul, 4549 why 5101 persecutest x1377 thou y1377 z5719 me? 3165 It is hard 4642 for thee 4671 to kicke 2979 z5721 against 4314 the prickes. 2759

 26:15 And 1161 I 1473 said, 2036 z5627 Who 5101 art x1488 thou, y1488 z5748 Lord? 2962 And 1161 hee x3588 said, 2036 z5627 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 Iesus 2424 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest. 1377 z5719

 26:16 But 235 rise, 450 z5628 and 2532 stand 2476 z5628 vpon 1909 thy 4675 feete, 4228 for 1063 I haue appeared 3700 z5681 vnto thee 4671 for 1519 this x5124 purpose, y5124 to make 4400 z5664 thee 4571 a minister 5257 and 2532 a witnesse, 3144 both 5037 of these things which 3739 thou hast seene, 1492 z5627 & 5037 of those things in the which 3739 I will appeare 3700 z5701 vnto thee, 4671

 26:17 Deliuering 1807 z5734 thee 4571 from 1537 the x3588 people, 2992 and 2532 from the x3588 Gentiles, 1484 vnto 1519 whom 3739 now 3568 I send 649 z5719 thee, 4571

 26:18 To open 455 z5658 their 846 eyes, 3788 and to turne 1994 z5658 them from 575 darknesse 4655 to 1519 light, 5457 and 2532 from the x3588 power 1849 of Satan 4567 vnto 1909 God, 2316 that x3588 they 846 may receiue 2983 z5629 forgiuenesse 859 of sinnes, 266 and 2532 inheritance 2819 among 1722 them x3588 which are sanctified 37 z5772 by faith 4102 that x3588 is in 1519 me. 1691

 26:19 Whereupon, 3606 O king 935 Agrippa, 67 I was 1096 z5633 not 3756 disobedient 545 vnto the x3588 heauenly 3770 vision: 3701

 26:20 But 235 shewed 518 z5723 z5625 z5707 first 4412 vnto them x3588 of 1722 Damascus, 1154 and 2532 at Hierusalem, 2414 and 5037 thorowout 1519 all 3956 the x3588 coasts 5561 of Iudea, 2449 and 2532 then to the x3588 Gentiles, 1484 that they should repent 3340 z5721 and 2532 turne 1994 z5721 to 1909 God, 2316 and do 4238 z5723 works 2041 meete 514 for repentance. 3341

 26:21 For y1752 these causes 5130 x1752 the x3588 Iewes 2453 caught 4815 z5642 mee 3165 in 1722 the x3588 Temple, 2411 and went about 3987 z5711 to kill 1315 z5670 me.

 26:22 Hauing y5177 z0 therefore 3767 obteined 5177 z5631 helpe 1947 of 3844 God, 2316 I continue 2476 z5758 vnto 891 this 5026 day, 2250 witnessing 3140 z5746 both 5037 to small 3398 and 2532 great, 3173 saying 3004 z5723 none x3762 other things y3762 x1622 then y1622 those which 3739 5037 the x3588 Prophets 4396 and 2532 Moses 3475 did say 2980 z5656 should 3195 z5723 come: 1096 z5738

 26:23 That 1487 Christ 5547 should suffer, 3805 and that 1487 hee should be the first 4413 that should rise 386 x1537 from y1537 the dead, 3498 & should 3195 z5719 shew 2605 z5721 light 5457 vnto the x3588 people, 2992 and 2532 to the x3588 Gentiles. 1484

 26:24 And 1161 as hee 846 thus 5023 spake for himselfe, 626 z5740 Festus 5347 saide 5346 z5713 with a lowd 3173 voyce, 5456 Paul, 3972 thou art beside thy selfe, 3105 z5736 much 4183 learning 1121 doeth make 4062 z5719 thee 4571 mad. 3130 y1519

 26:25 But 1161 he x3588 said, 5346 z5748 I am y3105 z0 not y3756 mad, 3105 z5736 x3756 most noble 2903 Festus, 5347 but 235 speake foorth 669 z5736 the words 4487 of trueth 225 and 2532 sobernesse. 4997

 26:26 For 1063 the x3588 King 935 knoweth 1987 z5736 of 4012 these y5130 things, x5130 before 4314 whom 3739 also 2532 I speake 2980 z5719 freely: 3955 z5740 for 1063 I am perswaded, 3982 z5743 that y3756 none 5100 y3762 x3756 of these things 5130 are hidden 2990 z5721 from him, 846 for 1063 this thing 5124 was 2076 z5748 not 3756 done 4238 z5772 in 1722 a corner. 1137

 26:27 King 935 Agrippa, 67 beleeuest x4100 thou y4100 z5719 the x3588 Prophets? 4396 I know 1492 z5758 that 3754 thou beleeuest. 4100 z5719

 26:28 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 saide 5346 z5713 vnto 4314 Paul, 3972 Almost 1722 3641 thou perswadest 3982 z5719 mee 3165 to bee 1096 z5635 a Christian. 5546

 26:29 And 1161 Paul 3972 said, 2036 z5627 I would 302 2172 z5665 to God, 2316 that not 3756 onely 3440 thou, 4571 but 235 also 2532 all 3956 that heare 191 z5723 mee 3450 this day, 4594 were 1096 z5635 both 2532 almost, 1722 3641 and 2532 altogether 1722 4183 such 5108 as 3697 y2504 I x2504 am, 1510 z5748 except 3924 these 5130 bonds. 1199

 26:30 And 2532 when hee 846 had y2036 z0 thus 5023 spoken, 2036 z5631 the x3588 king 935 rose vp, 450 z5627 and 2532 the x3588 gouernour, 2232 and 5037 Bernice, 959 & 2532 they that sate with 4775 z5740 them. 846

 26:31 And 2532 when they were gone aside, 402 z5660 they talked 2980 z5707 betweene y4314 themselues, 240 x4314 saying, 3004 z5723 y3754 This 3778 man 444 doeth 4238 z5719 nothing 3762 worthy 514 of death, 2288 or 2228 of bonds. 1199

 26:32 Then 1161 said 5346 z5713 Agrippa 67 vnto Festus, 5347 This 3778 man 444 might 1410 z5711 haue bene set at libertie, 630 z5771 if y1508 z0 x1487 he had y1941 z0 not y1508 x3361 appealed x1941 vnto y1941 z5716 Cesar. 2541
