Acts 26:21 In-Context

19 Whereupon, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision,

20 but I announced first unto those 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, doing works worthy of 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 no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said should come:

23 that the Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead and should show light unto this people and to the Gentiles.
