Acts 26:30 In-Context

28 Agrippa said to Sha'ul, "In this short time, you're trying to convince me to become Messianic?"

29 Sha'ul replied, "Whether it takes a short time or a long time, I wish to God that not only you, but also everyone hearing me today, might become just like me except for these chains!"

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "If he hadn't appealed to the Emperor, he could have been released."
