AC-26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to
speak for thyself.
Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
AC-26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall
answer for myself
this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am
accused of the Jews:
AC-26:3 Especially [because I know] thee to be expert in all
customs and
questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to
hear me
patiently.
AC-26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first
among mine own
nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
AC-26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify,
that after
the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
AC-26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the
promise made of God
unto our fathers:
AC-26:7 Unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, instantly
serving [God] day
and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I
am accused of
the Jews.
AC-26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you,
that God should
raise the dead?
AC-26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many
things contrary
to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
AC-26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the
saints did I
shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief
priests; and when
they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].
AC-26:11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and
compelled [them] to
blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted
[them] even
unto strange cities.
AC-26:12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and
commission from
the chief priests,
AC-26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from
heaven, above the
brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which
journeyed with me.
AC-26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a
voice speaking
unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?
[it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
AC-26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am
Jesus whom thou
persecutest.
AC-26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared
unto thee for
this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of
these things which
thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear
unto thee;
AC-26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the
Gentiles, unto whom
now I send thee,
AC-26:18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness
to light, and
[from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive
forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is
in me.
AC-26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto
the heavenly
vision:
