Acts 26:30 In-Context

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, "Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian."

29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only thou, but also all who hear me this day, were both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these bonds."

30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and also the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them.

31 And when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds."

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, "This man might have been set at liberty if he had not appealed unto Caesar."
