Paul's Defense Before Agrippa

1 So ¹Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:

2 "I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am going to make my defense today ²against all the accusations of the Jews,

3 especially because you are familiar with all the ³customs and ⁴controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

4 ⁵"My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among ⁶my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews.

5 They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that ⁷according to the strictest ⁸party of our ⁹religion I have lived as ¹⁰a Pharisee.

6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in ¹¹the promise made by God to our fathers,

7 ¹²to which ¹³our twelve tribes hope to ¹⁴attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope ¹⁵I am accused by Jews, O king!

8 Why is it thought ¹⁶incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?

9 ¹⁷"I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of ¹⁸Jesus of Nazareth.

10 ¹⁹And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority ²⁰from the chief priests, but ²¹when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

11 And ²²I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them ²³blaspheme, and ²⁴in raging fury against them I ²⁵persecuted them even to foreign cities.
