Acts 26:23-32

23 that the Messiah must suffer and be the first one to rise from death, to announce the light of salvation to the Jews and to the Gentiles." 1
24 As Paul defended himself in this way, Festus shouted at him, "You are mad, Paul! Your great learning is driving you mad!"
25 Paul answered, "I am not mad, Your Excellency! I am speaking the sober truth.
26 King Agrippa! I can speak to you with all boldness, because you know about these things. I am sure that you have taken notice of every one of them, for this thing has not happened hidden away in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do!"
28 Agrippa said to Paul, "In this short time do you think you will make me a Christian?"
29 "Whether a short time or a long time," Paul answered, "my prayer to God is that you and all the rest of you who are listening to me today might become what I am - except, of course, for these chains!"
30 Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others got up,
31 and after leaving they said to each other, "This man has not done anything for which he should die or be put in prison."
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been released if he had not appealed to the Emperor."
