agrippa And after certain days king {Agrippa} and

Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

agrippa Then {Agrippa} said unto Festus, I would also

hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

agrippa And on the morrow, when {Agrippa} was come,
and

Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of
hearing,

with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at
Festus'

commandment Paul was brought forth.

agrippa And Festus said, King {Agrippa}, and all men

which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all
the

multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and

also] here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

agrippa Of whom I have no certain thing to write
unto my

lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and
specially

before thee, O king {Agrippa}, that, after examination had, I
might

have somewhat to write.

agrippa Then {Agrippa} said unto Paul, Thou art
permitted

to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and

answered for himself:

agrippa 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:

agrippa 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.

agrippa Whereupon, O king {Agrippa}, I was not

disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

agrippa King {Agrippa}, believest thou the prophets?
I

know that thou believest.

agrippa Then {Agrippa} said unto Paul, Almost thou

persuadest me to be a Christian.

agrippa Then said {Agrippa} unto Festus, This man
might

have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
