Acts 26:17-27

17 ¹delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles--²to whom I ³am sending you

18 ⁴to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from ⁵the power of Satan to God, that they may receive ⁶forgiveness of sins and ⁷a place among those who are sanctified ⁸by faith in me.'

19 "Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to ⁹the heavenly vision,

20 but declared first ¹⁰to those in Damascus, ¹¹then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also ¹²to the Gentiles, that they should ¹³repent and ¹⁴turn to God, performing deeds ¹⁵in keeping with their repentance.

21 For this reason ¹⁶the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

22 ¹⁷To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so ¹⁸I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what ¹⁹the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:

23 ²⁰that the Christ ²¹must suffer and that, ²²by being the first ²³to rise from the dead, ²⁴he would proclaim ²⁵light both to our people and to the Gentiles."

24 And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, ²⁶you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind."

25 But Paul said, "I am not out of my mind, ²⁷most excellent Festus, but I am speaking ²⁸true and ²⁹rational words.

26 For ³⁰the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner.

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
