Acts 26:30 In-Context

28 And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.

29 And Paul said: I would to God that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.

30 And the king rose up, and the governor and Bernice and they that sat with them.

32 And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
