Hechos 26:26

26 Porque el rey entiende estas cosas, y también le hablo con confianza, porque estoy persuadido de que él no ignora nada de esto; pues esto no se ha hecho en secreto.

Hechos 26:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:26

For the king knoweth of these things
Something of them, of the sufferings and resurrection of the Messiah, and of his showing light to Jews and Gentiles, as they are spoken of by Moses and the prophets, whose writings Agrippa was conversant with, and of these things as fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth; at least he had heard the report of them, how that they were said to be accomplished in him.

Before whom also I speak freely;
because of the knowledge he had of these things:

for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him;
as that Moses and the prophets have foretold then, and that they have had their fulfilment in Jesus;

for this thing was not done in a corner:
the ministry of Jesus was, public, his miracles were done openly, his suffering the death of the cross under Pontius Pilate was generally known, and his resurrection from the dead was a well attested fact, and the ministration of his Gospel to Jews and Gentiles was notorious. The Arabic and Ethiopic versions refer this to Paul's words and actions, that what he had said and done were not private but public, and of which Agrippa had had, by one means or another, a full account; but the other sense is best.

Hechos 26:26 In-Context

24 Mientras Pablo decía esto en su defensa, Festo dijo<***> a gran voz: ¡Pablo, estás loco! ¡Tu mucho saber te está haciendo perder la cabeza!
25 Mas Pablo dijo<***>: No estoy loco, excelentísimo Festo, sino que hablo palabras de verdad y de cordura.
26 Porque el rey entiende estas cosas, y también le hablo con confianza, porque estoy persuadido de que él no ignora nada de esto; pues esto no se ha hecho en secreto.
27 Rey Agripa, ¿crees en los profetas? Yo sé que crees.
28 Y Agripa respondió a Pablo: En poco tiempo me persuadirás a que me haga cristiano.
