Acts 26 (kjv)

Then^G1161 Agrippa^G67 said^G5346 unto^G4314 Paul^G3972, Thou^G4671 art permitted^G2010 to speak^G3004 for^G5228 thyself^G4572. Then^G5119 Paul^G3972 stretched forth^G1614 the hand^G5495, and answered for himself^G626:²I think^G2233 myself^G1683 happy^G3107, king^G935 Agrippa^G67, because I shall^G3195 answer for myself^G626 this day^G4594 before^G1909 thee^G4675 touching^G4012 all the things^G3956 whereof^G3739 I am accused^G1458 of^G5259 the Jews^G2453:³Especially^G3122 because I know^G1492 thee^G4571 to be^G5607 expert^{G1109 G5037} in all^G3956 customs^G1485 and^G2532 questions^G2213 which are among^G2596 the Jews^G2453: wherefore^G1352 I beseech^G1189 thee^G4675 to hear^G191 me^G3450 patiently^G3116.⁴My^G3450 manner^{G3303 G3767} of life^G981 from^G1537 my youth^G3503, which^G3588 was^G1096 at^G575 the first^G746 among^G1722 mine^G3450 own nation^G1484 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414, know^G2467 all^G3956 the Jews^G2453;⁵Which knew^G4267 me^G3165 from the beginning^G509, if^G1437 they would^G2309 testify^G3140, that^G3754 after^G2596 the most straitest^G196 sect^G139 of our^G2251 religion^G2356 I lived^G2198 a Pharisee^G5330.⁶And^G2532 now^G3568 I stand^G2476 and am judged^G2919 for^G1909 the hope^G1680 of the promise^G1860 made^G1096 of^G5259 God^G2316 unto^G4314 our fathers^G3962:⁷Unto^G1519 which^G3739 promise our^G2257 twelve tribes^G1429, instantly^{G1722 G1616} serving^G3000 God day^G2250 and^G2532 night^G3571, hope^G1679 to come^G2658. For^G4012 which^G3739 hope's sake^G1680, king^G935 Agrippa^G67, I am accused^G1458 of^G5259 the Jews^G2453.⁸Why^G5101 should it be thought a thing^G2919 incredible^G571 with^G3844 you^G5213, that^G1487 God^G2316 should raise^G1453 the dead^G3498?⁹I^G1473 verily^{G3303 G3767} thought^G1380 with myself^G1683, that I ought^G1163 to do^G4238 many things^G4183 contrary^G1727 to^G4314 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 of Nazareth^G3480.¹⁰Which thing^G3739 I^G4160 also^G2532 did^G4160 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414: and^G2532 many^G4183 of the saints^G40 did^G2623 I^G1473 shut up^G2623 in prison^G5438, having received^G2983 authority^G1849 from^G3844 the chief priests^G749; and^G5037 when they^G846 were put to death^G337, I gave^G2702 my voice^G5586 against them.¹¹And^G2532 I punished^G5097 them^G846 oft^G4178 in^G2596 every^G3956 synagogue^G4864, and compelled^G315 them to blaspheme^G987; and^G5037 being^G1693 exceedingly^G4057 mad against^G1693 them^G846, I persecuted^G1377 them even^G2532 unto^{G1519 G2193} strange^G1854 cities^G4172.^12G2532 Whereupon^{G1722 G3739} as I went^G4198 to^G1519 Damascus^G1154 with^G3326 authority^G1849 and^G2532 commission^G2011 from^G3844 the chief priests^G749,¹³At midday^{G2250 G3319}, O king^G935, I saw^G1492 in^G2596 the way^G3598 a light^G5457 from heaven^G3771, above^G5228 the brightness^G2987 of the sun^G2246, shining round about^G4034 me^G3165 and^G2532 them which journeyed^G4198 with^G4862 me^G1698.¹⁴And^G1161 when we^G2257 were^G2667 all^G3956 fallen^G2667 to^G1519 the earth^G1093, I heard^G191 a voice^G5456 speaking^G2980 unto^G4314 me^G3165, and^G2532 saying^G3004 in the Hebrew^G1446 tongue^G1258, Saul^G4549, Saul^G4549, why^G5101 persecutest thou^G1377 me^G3165? it is hard^G4642 for thee^G4671 to kick^G2979 against^G4314 the pricks^G2759.¹⁵And^G1161 I^G1473 said^G2036, Who^G5101 art thou^G1488, Lord^G2962? And^G1161 he said^G2036, I^G1473 am^G1510 Jesus^G2424 whom^G3739 thou^G4771 persecutest^G1377.¹⁶But^G235 rise^G450, and^G2532 stand^G2476 upon^G1909 thy^G4675 feet^G4228: for^G1063 I have appeared^G3700 unto thee^G4671 for^G1519 this purpose^G5124, to make^G4400 thee^G4571 a minister^G5257 and^G2532 a witness^G3144 both^G5037 of these things which^G3739 thou hast seen^G1492, and^G5037 of those things in the which^G3739 I will appear^G3700 unto thee^G4671;¹⁷Delivering^G1807 thee^G4571 from^G1537 the people^G2992, and^G2532 from the Gentiles^G1484, unto^G1519 whom^G3739 now^G3568 I send^G649 thee^G4571,¹⁸To open^G455 their^G846 eyes^G3788, and to turn^G1994 them from^G575 darkness^G4655 to^G1519 light^G5457, and^G2532 from the power^G1849 of Satan^G4567 unto^G1909 God^G2316, that they^G846 may receive^G2983 forgiveness^G859 of sins^G266, and^G2532 inheritance^G2819 among^G1722 them which are sanctified^G37 by faith^G4102 that is in^G1519 me^G1691.¹⁹Whereupon^G3606, O king^G935 Agrippa^G67, I was^G1096 not^G3756 disobedient^G545 unto the heavenly^G3770 vision^G3701:²⁰But^G235 shewed^{G518 G518} first^G4412 unto them of^G1722 Damascus^G1154, and^G2532 at Jerusalem^G2414, and^G5037 throughout^G1519 all^G3956 the coasts^G5561 of Judaea^G2449, and^G2532 then to the Gentiles^G1484, that they should repent^G3340 and^G2532 turn^G1994 to^G1909 God^G2316, and do^G4238 works^G2041 meet^G514 for repentance^G3341.²¹For^G1752 these causes^G5130 the Jews^G2453 caught^G4815 me^G3165 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and went about^G3987 to kill^G1315 me.²²Having^G5177 therefore^G3767 obtained^G5177 help^G1947 of^G3844 God^G2316, I continue^G2476 unto^G891 this^G5026 day^G2250, witnessing^G3140 both^G5037 to small^G3398 and^G2532 great^G3173, saying^G3004 none other things^G3762 than^G1622 those which^{G3739 G5037} the prophets^G4396 and^G2532 Moses^G3475 did say^G2980 should^G3195 come^G1096:²³That^G1487 Christ^G5547 should suffer^G3805, and that^G1487 he should be the first^G4413 that should rise^G386 from^G1537 the dead^G3498, and should^G3195 shew^G2605 light^G5457 unto the people^G2992, and^G2532 to the Gentiles^G1484.²⁴And^G1161 as he^G846 thus^G5023 spake for himself^G626, Festus^G5347 said^G5346 with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, Paul^G3972, thou art beside thyself^G3105; much^G4183 learning^G1121 doth make^G4062 thee^G4571 mad^{G1519 G3130}.²⁵But^G1161 he said^G5346, I am^G3105 not^G3756 mad^G3105, most noble^G2903 Festus^G5347; but^G235 speak forth^G669 the words^G4487 of truth^G225 and^G2532 soberness^G4997.²⁶For^G1063 the king^G935 knoweth^G1987 of^G4012 these^G5130 things, before^G4314 whom^G3739 also^G2532 I speak^G2980 freely^G3955: for^G1063 I am persuaded^G3982 that^G3756 none^{G5100 G3762} of these things^G5130 are hidden^G2990 from him^G846; for^G1063 this thing^G5124 was^G2076 not^G3756 done^G4238 in^G1722 a corner^G1137.²⁷King^G935 Agrippa^G67, believest thou^G4100 the prophets^G4396? I know^G1492 that^G3754 thou believest^G4100.²⁸Then^G1161 Agrippa^G67 said^G5346 unto^G4314 Paul^G3972, Almost^{G1722 G3641} thou persuadest^G3982 me^G3165 to be^G1096 a Christian^G5546.²⁹And^G1161 Paul^G3972 said^G2036, I would^{G302 G2172} to God^G2316, that not^G3756 only^G3440 thou^G4571, but^G235 also^G2532 all^G3956 that hear^G191 me^G3450 this day^G4594, were^G1096 both^G2532 almost^{G1722 G3641}, and^G2532 altogether^{G1722 G4183} such^G5108 as^{G3697 G2504} I am^G1510, except^G3924 these^G5130 bonds^G1199.³⁰And^G2532 when he^G846 had^G2036 thus^G5023 spoken^G2036, the king^G935 rose up^G450, and^G2532 the governor^G2232, and^G5037 Bernice^G959, and^G2532 they that sat with^G4775 them^G846:³¹And^G2532 when they were gone aside^G402, they talked^G2980 between^G4314 themselves^G240, saying^G3004,^G3754 This^G3778 man^G444 doeth^G4238 nothing^G3762 worthy^G514 of death^G2288 or^G2228 of bonds^G1199.³²Then^G1161 said^G5346 Agrippa^G67 unto Festus^G5347, This^G3778 man^G444 might^G1410 have been set at liberty^G630, if^G1508 he had^G1941 not^G1508 appealed unto^G1941 Caesar^G2541.
