Acts 26 [NIV] [vs: 2] “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews, [vs: 3] and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently. [vs: 4] “The Jews all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. [vs: 5] They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee. [vs: 6] And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our fathers that I am on trial today. [vs: 7] This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. O king, it is because of this hope that the Jews are accusing me. [vs: 8] Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead? [vs: 9] “I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. [vs: 10] And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. [vs: 11] Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. In my obsession against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them. [vs: 12] “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. [vs: 13] About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. [vs: 14] We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ [vs: 15] “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. [vs: 16] ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. [vs: 17] I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them [vs: 18] to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ [vs: 19] “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. [vs: 20] First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. [vs: 21] That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.Acts 26 [NIV] [vs: 22] But I have had God’s help to this very day, and so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- [vs: 23] that the Christ would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to his own people and to the Gentiles.” [vs: 24] At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.”
