• 1 میَں پورے دِل سے تیرا شُکر کروُنگا۔ معبودوں کے سامنے تیری مدح سرائی کرونگا۔

Matthew 10:18

• 18 اور تُم میرے سبب سے حاکِموں اور بادشاہوں کے سامنے حاضِر کِئے جاؤ گے تاکہ اُن کے اور غَیر قَوموں کے لِئے گواہی ہو۔

Acts 26:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

• 1 اگِرپّا نے پولُس سے کہا تُجھے اپنے لِئے بولنے کی اِجازت ہے۔ پولُس ہاتھ بڑھا کر اپنا جواب یُوں پیش کرنے لگاکہ۔
• 2 اَے اگِرپّا بادشاہ جِتنی باتوں کی یہُودی مُجھ پر نالِش کرتے ہیں آج تیرے سامنے اُن کی جو ابدِ ہی کرنا اپنی خُوش نصِیبی جانتا ہُوں۔
• 3 خاص کر اِس لِئے کہ یہُودِیوں کی سب رسموں اور مسُلوں سے واقِف ہے۔ پَس مَیں مِنّت کرتا ہُوں کہ تحُمّل سے میری سُن لے۔
• 4 سب یہُودی جانتے ہیں کہ اپنی قَوم کے درمیان اور یروشلِیم میں شُرُوع جوانی سے میرا چال چلن کیَسا رہا ہے۔
• 5 چُونکہ وہ شُرُوع سے مُجھے جانتے ہیں اگر چا ہیں تو گواہ ہوسکتے ہیں کہ مَیں فرِیسی ہوکر اپنے دِین کے سب سے زیادہ پاِبنِدِ مزہب فِرقہ کی طرح زِندگی گزُارتا تھا۔
• 6 اور اَب اُس وعدہ کی اُمِید کے سبب سے مُجھ پر مُقدّمہ ہورہا ہے جو خُدا نے ہمارے باپ دادا سے کِیا تھا۔
• 7 اُسی وعدہ کے پُورا ہونے کی اُمِید پر ہمارے بارہ کے بارہ قبِیلے دِل و جان سے رات دِن عِبادت کِیا کرتے ہیں۔ اِسی اُمِید کے سبب سے اَے بادشاہ! یہُودی مُجھ نالِش کرتے ہیں۔
• 8 جب کہ خُدا مُردوں کو جِلاتا ہے تویہ بات تُمہارے نزدِیک کِیُوں غَیر مُعتبر سَمَجھی جاتے ہے؟۔
• 9 مَیں نے بھی سَمَجھا تھاکہ یِسُوع ناصری کے نام کی طرح طرح سے مُخالفت کرنا مُجھ پر فرض ہے۔
• 10 چُنانچہ مَیں نے یروشلِیم میں اَیسا ہی کِیا اور سَردار کاہِنوں کی طرف سے اِختیّار پاکر بہُت سے مُقدّسوں کو قَید میں ڈالا اور جب وہ قتل کِئے جاتے تھے تو مَیں بھی یہی راۓ دیتا تھا۔
• 11 اور ہر عِبادت خانہ میں اُنہِیں سزا دِلا دِلا کر زبردستی اُن سے کفُر کہلواتا تھا بلکہ اُن کی مُخالفت میں اَیسا دِیوانہ بناکہ غَیر شہروں میں بھی جا کر اُنہِیں ستاتا تھا۔
• 12 اِسی حال میں سَردار کاہِنوں سے اِختیّار اور پروانے لے کر دمشق کو جاتا تھا۔
• 13 تو اَے بادشاہ مَیں نے دوپہر کے وقت راہ میں یہ دیکھا کہ سُورج کے نُور سے زیادہ ایک نُور آسمان سے میرے اور میرے ہمسفروں کے گِردا گِرد آچمکا۔
• 14 جب ہم سب زمِین پر گِر پڑے تو مَیں نے عِبرانی زبان میں یہ آواز سُنی کہ اَے ساڈل اَے ساڈل! تُو مُجھے کِیُوں ستاتا ہے؟ پَینے کی آر پر لات مارنا تیرے لِئےمُشکِل ہے۔
• 15 مَیں نے کہا اَے خُداوند تُو کَون ہے؟ خُداوند نے فرمایا مَیں یِسُوع ہُوں جِسے تُو ستاتا ہے۔
• 16 لیکِن اُٹھ اپنے پاؤں پر کھڑا ہو کِیُونکہ مَیں اِس لِئے تُجھ پر ظاہِر ہُؤا ہُوں کہ تُجھے اُن چِیزوں کا بھی خادِم اور گواہ مُقرّر کرُوں جِنکی گواہی کے لِئے تُو نے مُجھے دیکھا ہے اور اُن کا بھی جِنکی گواہی کے لِئے مَیں تُجھ پر ظاہِر ہُؤا کرُوں گا۔
• 17 تُجھے اِس اُمّت اور غَیر قَوموں سے بَچاتا رہُوں گا جِن کے پاس تُجھے اِس لِئے بھیجتا ہُوں۔
• 18 کہ تُو اُن کی آنکھیں کھول دے تاکہ اَندھیرے سے روشنی کی طرف اور شَیطان کے اِختیّار سے خُدا کی طرف رُجُوع لائیں اور مُجھ پر اِیمان لانے کے باعِث گُناہوں کی مُعافی اور مُقدّسوں میں شِریک ہوکر مِیراث پائیں۔
• 19 اِس لِئے اَے اگِرپّا بادشاہ! مَیں اُس آسمانی رویا کا نافرمان نہ ہُؤا۔
• 20 بلکہ پہلے دمشقیوں کو پِھر یروشلِیم اور سارے مُلک یہُودیہ کے باشِندوں کو اور غَیر قَوموں کو سَمَجھاتا رہا کہ تَوبہ کریں اور خُدا کی طرف رُجُوع لاکر تَوبہ کے مُوافِق کام کریں۔
• 21 اِنہی باتوں کے سبب سے یہُودِیوں نے مُجھے ہَیکل میں پکڑکر مار ڈالنے کی کوشِش کی۔
• 22 لیکِن خُدا کی مدد سے مَیں آج تک قائِم ہُوں اور چھوٹے بڑے کے سامنے گواہی دیتا ہُوں اور اُن باتوں کے سِوا کُچھ نہِیں کہتا جِنکی پشِیینگوئی نبِیوں اور مُوسٰی نے بھی کی ہے۔
• 23 کہ مسِیح کو دُکھ اُٹھانا ضرُور ہے اور سب سے پہلے وُہی مُردوں میں سے زِندہ ہوکر اِس اُمّْت کو اور غَیر قَوموں کو بھی نُور کا اِشتہار دے گا۔
• 24 جب وہ اِس طرح جوابد ہی کررہا تھ تو فیستُس نے بڑی آواز سے کہا اَے پولُس! تُو دیوانہ ہے۔ بہُت عِلم نے تُجھے دِیوانہ کر دِیا ہے۔
• 25 پولُس نے کہا اَے فیستُس بہادر! مَیں دِیوانہ نہِیں بلکہ سَچّائی اور ہوشیاری کی باتیں کہتا ہُوں۔
• 26 چُنانچہ بادشاہ جِس سے مَیں دِلیران کلام کرتا ہُوں یہ باتیں جانتا اور مُجھے یقِین ہے کہ اِن باتوں میں سے کوئی اُس سے چِھپی نہِیں کِیُونکہ یہ ماجرا کِہیں کونے میں نہِیں ہُؤا۔
• 27 اَے اگِرپّا بادشاہ کیا تُو نبِیوں کا یقِین کرتا ہے؟ مَیں جانتا ہُوں کہ تُو یقِین کرتا ہے۔
• 28 اگِرپّا نے پولُس سے کہا تُو تو تھوڑی ہی سی نصِیحت کر کے مُجھے مسِیحی کرلینا چاہتا ہے۔
• 29 پولُس نے کہا مَیں تُو خُدا سے چاہتا ہُوں کہ تھوڑی نصِیحت سے یا بہُت سے صِرف تُوہی نہِیں بلکہ جِتنے لوگ آج میری سُنتے ہیں میری مانِند ہو جائیں سِوا اِن زِنجیروں کے۔
• 30 تب بادشاہ اور حاکِم اور برِنیکے اور اُن کے ہمنشِین اُٹھ کھڑے ہُوئے۔
• 31 اور الگ جا کر ایک دوُسرے سے باتیں کرنے اور کہنے لگے کہ یہ آدمِی اَیسا تو کُچھ نہِیں کرتا جو قتل یا قَید کے لائِق ہو۔
• 32 اگِرپّا نے فیستُس سے کہا کہ اگر یہ آدمِی قَیصر کے ہاں اپِیل نہ کرتا تو چُھوٹ سکتا تھا۔

• 5 تُمہاری نرم مِزاجی سب آدمِیوں پر ظاہِر ہو۔ خُداوند قرِیب ہے۔

Psalms 138:1

• 1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

Matthew 10:18

• 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

Acts 26:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

• 1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
• 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:
• 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.
• 4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
• 5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
• 6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
• 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.
• 8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
• 9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
• 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.
• 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.
• 12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
• 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.
• 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.
• 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
• 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;
• 17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
• 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.
• 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
• 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
• 21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
• 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
• 23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
• 24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
• 25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
• 26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
• 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
• 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
• 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
• 30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
• 31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
• 32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

Philippians 4:5

• 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Psalms 138:1

• 1 A Psalm of David. ^H1732 I will praise ^H3034 thee with my whole ^H3605 heart: ^H3820 before ^H5048 the gods ^H430 will I sing praise ^H2167 unto thee.

Matthew 10:18

• 18 And ^G2532 ye shall be ^G1161 brought ^G71 before ^G1909 governors ^G2232 and ^G2532 kings ^G935 for my sake ^{G1752 G1700} , for ^G1519 a testimony ^G3142 against them ^G846 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 Gentiles. ^G1484

Acts 26:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

• 1 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 ^G3588 hand, ^G5495 and answered for himself: ^G626
• 2 I 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 ^G3956 the things whereof ^G3739 I am accused ^G1458 of ^G5259 the Jews: ^G2453
• 3 Especially ^G3122 because I know ^G1492 thee ^G4571 to be ^G5607 expert ^G1109 in all ^G3956 customs ^G1485 and ^{G5037 G2532} questions ^G2213 which are among ^G2596 the Jews: ^G2453 wherefore ^G1352 I beseech ^G1189 thee ^G4675 to hear ^G191 me ^G3450 patiently. ^G3116
• 4 My ^G3450 manner of life ^{G981 G3303 G3767} from ^G1537 my youth, ^G3503 which was ^G1096 at ^G575 the first ^G746 among ^G1722 mine own ^G3450 nation ^G1484 at ^G1722 Jerusalem, ^G2414 know ^G2467 all ^G3956 the ^G3588 Jews; ^G2453
• 5 Which knew ^G4267 me ^G3165 from the beginning, ^G509 if ^G1437 they would ^G2309 testify, ^G3140 that ^G3754 after ^G2596 the ^G3588 most straitest ^G196 sect ^G139 of our ^G2251 religion ^G2356 I lived ^G2198 a Pharisee. ^G5330
• 6 And ^G2532 now ^G3568 I stand ^G2476 and am judged ^G2919 for ^G1909 the hope ^G1680 of the ^G3588 promise ^G1860 made ^G1096 of ^G5259 God ^G2316 unto ^G4314 our fathers: ^G3962
• 7 Unto ^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 ^G1680 sake, king ^G935 Agrippa, ^G67 I am accused ^G1458 of ^G5259 the ^G3588 Jews. ^G2453
• 8 Why ^G5101 should it be thought ^G2919 a thing incredible ^G571 with ^G3844 you, ^G5213 that ^G1487 God ^G2316 should raise ^G1453 the dead ^G3498 ?
• 9 I ^G1473 verily ^{G3303 G3767} thought ^G1380 with myself, ^G1683 that I ought ^G1163 to do ^G4238 many things ^G4183 contrary ^G1727 to ^G4314 the ^G3588 name ^G3686 of Jesus ^G2424 of Nazareth. ^G3480
• 10 Which thing ^G3739 I also ^G2532 did ^G4160 in ^G1722 Jerusalem: ^G2414 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 of the ^G3588 saints ^G40 did I ^G1473 shut up ^G2623 in prison, ^G5438 having received ^G2983 authority ^G1849 from ^G3844 the ^G3588 chief priests; ^G749 and ^G5037 when they ^G846 were put to death, ^G337 I gave my voice against ^{G2702 G5586} them.
• 11 And ^G2532 I punished ^G5097 them ^G846 oft ^G4178 in every ^{G2596 G3956} synagogue, ^G4864 and compelled ^G315 them to blaspheme; ^G987 and ^G5037 being exceedingly mad against ^{G1693 G4057} them, ^G846 I persecuted ^G1377 them even ^{G2193 G2532} unto ^G1519 strange ^G1854 cities. ^G4172
• 12 Whereupon ^{G1722 G3739} as ^G2532 I went ^G4198 to ^G1519 Damascus ^G1154 with ^G3326 authority ^G1849 and ^G2532 commission ^G2011 from ^G3844 the ^G3588 chief priests, ^G749
• 13 At midday ^{G3319 G2250} , O king, ^G935 I ^G1492 saw in ^G2596 the ^G3588 way ^G3598 a light ^G5457 from heaven, ^G3771 above ^G5228 the ^G3588 brightness ^G2987 of the ^G3588 sun, ^G2246 shining round about ^G4034 me ^G3165 and ^G2532 them which journeyed ^G4198 with ^G4862 me. ^G1698
• 14 And ^G1161 when we ^G2257 were all ^G3956 fallen ^G2667 to ^G1519 the ^G3588 earth, ^G1093 I heard ^G191 a voice ^G5456 speaking ^G2980 unto ^G4314 me, ^G3165 and ^G2532 saying ^G3004 in the ^G3588 Hebrew ^G1446 tongue, ^G1258 Saul, ^G4549 Saul, ^G4549 why ^G5101 persecutest ^G1377 thou me ^G3165 ? it is hard ^G4642 for thee ^G4671 to kick ^G2979 against ^G4314 the pricks. ^G2759
• 15 And ^G1161 I ^G1473 said, ^G2036 Who ^G5101 art ^G1488 thou, Lord ^G2962 ? And ^G1161 he ^G3588 said, ^G2036 I ^G1473 am ^G1510 Jesus ^G2424 whom ^G3739 thou ^G4771 persecutest. ^G1377
• 16 But ^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 ^G5124 purpose, 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
• 17 Delivering ^G1807 thee ^G4571 from ^G1537 the ^G3588 people, ^G2992 and ^G2532 from the ^G3588 Gentiles, ^G1484 unto ^G1519 whom ^G3739 now ^G3568 I send ^G649 thee, ^G4571
• 18 To open ^G455 their ^G846 eyes, ^G3788 and to turn ^G1994 them from ^G575 darkness ^G4655 to ^G1519 light, ^G5457 and ^G2532 from the ^G3588 power ^G1849 of Satan ^G4567 unto ^G1909 God, ^G2316 that ^G3588 they ^G846 may receive ^G2983 forgiveness ^G859 of sins, ^G266 and ^G2532 inheritance ^G2819 among ^G1722 them ^G3588 which are sanctified ^G37 by faith ^G4102 that ^G3588 is in ^G1519 me. ^G1691
• 19 Whereupon ^G3606 , O king ^G935 Agrippa, ^G67 I was ^G1096 not ^G3756 disobedient ^G545 unto the ^G3588 heavenly ^G3770 vision: ^G3701
• 20 But ^G235 showed ^G518 first ^G4412 unto them ^G3588 of ^G1722 Damascus, ^G1154 and ^G2532 at Jerusalem, ^G2414 and ^G5037 throughout ^G1519 all ^G3956 the ^G3588 coasts ^G5561 of Judea, ^G2449 and ^G2532 then to the ^G3588 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
• 21 For these causes ^{G1752 G5130} the ^G3588 Jews ^G2453 caught ^G4815 me ^G3165 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 temple, ^G2411 and went about ^G3987 to kill ^G1315 me.
• 22 Having 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 ^G3762 other things ^G1622 than those which ^{G3739 G5037} the ^G3588 prophets ^G4396 and ^G2532 Moses ^G3475 did say ^G2980 should ^G3195 come: ^G1096
• 23 That ^G1487 Christ ^G5547 should suffer, ^G3805 and that ^G1487 he should be the first ^G4413 that should rise ^{G1537 G386} from the dead, ^G3498 and should ^G3195 show ^G2605 light ^G5457 unto the ^G3588 people, ^G2992 and ^G2532 to the ^G3588 Gentiles. ^G1484
• 24 And ^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. ^G3130
• 25 But ^G1161 he ^G3588 said, ^G5346 I am not mad ^{G3105 G3756} , most noble ^G2903 Festus; ^G5347 but ^G235 I speak forth ^G669 the words ^G4487 of truth ^G225 and ^G2532 soberness. ^G4997
• 26 For ^G1063 the ^G3588 king ^G935 knoweth ^G1987 of ^G4012 these things, ^G5130 before ^G4314 whom ^G3739 also ^G2532 I speak ^G2980 freely: ^G3955 for ^G1063 I am persuaded ^G3982 that none ^{G3756 G5100} 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
• 27 King ^G935 Agrippa, ^G67 believest ^G4100 thou the ^G3588 prophets ^G4396 ? I know ^G1492 that ^G3754 thou believest. ^G4100

• 29 And ^G1161 Paul ^G3972 said, ^G2036 I would ^{G2172 G302} 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 I ^G2504 am, ^G1510 except ^G3924 these ^G5130 bonds. ^G1199

Acts 26:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32

• 1 And Agrippa said unto Paul, `It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;` then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence:
• 2 `Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day,
• 3 especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things -- both customs and questions -- among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me.
• 4 `The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth -- which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem -- know do all the Jews,
• 5 knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;
• 6 and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged,
• 7 to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;
• 8 why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
• 9 `I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved me many things to do,
• 10 which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,
• 11 and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining them to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting them even unto strange cities.
• 12 `In which things, also, going on to Damascus -- with authority and commission from the chief priests --
• 13 at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light -- and those going on with me;
• 14 and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick!
• 15 `And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute;
• 16 but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee,
• 17 delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee,
• 18 to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.
• 19 `Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
• 20 but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;
• 21 because of these things the Jews -- having caught me in the temple -- were endeavouring to kill me.
• 22 `Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,
• 23 that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.`
• 24 And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;`
• 25 and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth;
• 26 for the king doth know concerning these things, before whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been done in a corner;
• 27 thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!`
• 28 And Agrippa said unto Paul, `In a little thou dost persuade me to become a Christian!`
• 29 and Paul said, `I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am -- except these bonds.`
• 30 And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them,
• 31 and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another, saying -- `This man doth nothing worthy of death or of bonds;`
• 32 and Agrippa said to Festus, `This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.`

• 1 And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:

• 3 especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
• 4 My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

• 6 And now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;

• 8 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
• 9 I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
• 10 And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
• 11 And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
• 12 Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
• 13 at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.
• 14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
• 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
• 16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;
• 17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,
• 18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
• 19 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
• 20 but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
• 21 For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.
• 22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;
• 23 how that the Christ must suffer, and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.
• 24 And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.
• 25 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.
• 26 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.
• 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
• 28 And Agrippa said unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.
• 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.
• 30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
• 31 and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
• 32 And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

• 1 So Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul held out his hand and began his defense:
• 2 "Regarding all the things I have been accused of by the Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that I am about to make my defense before you today,
• 3 because you are especially familiar with all the customs and controversial issues of the Jews. Therefore I ask you to listen to me patiently.
• 4 Now all the Jews know the way I lived from my youth, spending my life from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem.
• 5 They know, because they have known me from time past, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.
• 6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors,
• 7 a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve God night and day. Concerning this hope the Jews are accusing me, Your Majesty!
• 8 Why do you people think it is unbelievable that God raises the dead?
• 9 Of course, I myself was convinced that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.
• 10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem: Not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons by the authority I received from the chief priests, but I also cast my vote against them when they were sentenced to death.
• 11 I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. Because I was so furiously enraged at them, I went to persecute them even in foreign cities.
• 12 "While doing this very thing, as I was going to Damascus with authority and complete power from the chief priests,
• 13 about noon along the road, Your Majesty, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining everywhere around me and those traveling with me.
• 14 When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You are hurting yourself by kicking against the goads.'
• 15 So I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord replied, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
• 16 But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this reason, to designate you in advance as a servant and witness to the things you have seen and to the things in which I will appear to you.
• 17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you
• 18 to open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
• 19 "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
• 20 but I declared to those in Damascus first, and then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds consistent with repentance.
• 21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were trying to kill me.
• 22 I have experienced help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said was going to happen:
• 23 that the Christ was to suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, to proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles."
• 24 As Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed loudly, "You have lost your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!"
• 25 But Paul replied, "I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking true and rational words.
• 26 For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely to him, because I cannot believe that any of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.
• 27 Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe."
• 28 Agrippa said to Paul, "In such a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?"
• 29 Paul replied, "I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains."
• 30 So the king got up, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them,
• 31 and as they were leaving they said to one another, "This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment."
• 32 Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar."
