Acts 26:27

27 You believe the prophets, don't you, King Agrippa? Don't answer that - I know you believe."

Acts 26:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:27

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets?
&c.] What they have said concerning the person, office, sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ, and that what they have said is fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth?

I know that thou believest;
that what the prophets said were true, and are accomplished.

Acts 26:27 In-Context

25 But Paul stood his ground. "With all respect, Festus, Your Honor, I'm not crazy. I'm both accurate and sane in what I'm saying.
26 The King knows what I'm talking about. I'm sure that nothing of what I've said sounds crazy to him. He's known all about it for a long time. You must realize that this wasn't done behind the scenes.
27 You believe the prophets, don't you, King Agrippa? Don't answer that - I know you believe."
28 But Agrippa did answer: "Keep this up much longer and you'll make a Christian out of me!"
29 Paul, still in chains, said, "That's what I'm praying for, whether now or later, and not only you but everyone listening today, to become like me - except, of course, for this prison jewelry!"
