Acts 26:30 In-Context

28 But Agrippa [said] to Paul, "In a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?"

29 And Paul [replied], "I pray to God, whether in a short time or in a long time, not only you but also all those who are listening to me today may become such [people] as I also am, except for these bonds!"

30 Both the king and the governor got up, and Bernice and those who were sitting with them.

31 And [as they] were going out, they were talking to one another, saying, "This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment."

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar."
