| [1]ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346[G5713] untoG4314 PaulG3972, ThouG4671 art permittedG2010[G5743] to speakG3004[G5721] forG5228 thyselfG4572. ThenG5119 PaulG3972 stretched forthG1614[G5660] the handG5495, and answered for himselfG626:[G5711] |
[1]Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself. |
| [2]I thinkG2233[G5766] myselfG1683 happyG3107, kingG935 AgrippaG67, because I shallG3195[G5723] answer for myselfG626[G5738] this dayG4594 beforeG1909 theeG4675 touchingG4012 all the thingsG3956 whereofG3739 I am accusedG1458[G5743] ofG5259 the JewsG2453: |
[2]I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answer this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews: |
| [3]EspeciallyG3122 because I knowG1492[G5761] theeG4571 to beG5607[G5752] expertG1109[G5037] in allG3956 customsG1485 andG2532 questionsG2213 which are amongG2596 the JewsG2453: whereforeG1352 I beseechG1189[G5736] theeG4675 to hearG191[G5658] meG3450 patientlyG3116. |
[3]Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customs, and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee, to hear me patiently. |
| [4]MyG3450 mannerG3303[G3767] of lifeG981 fromG1537 my youthG3503, whichG3588 wasG1096[G5637] atG575 the firstG746 amongG1722 mineG3450 own nationG1484 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, knowG2467[G5758] allG3956 the JewsG2453; |
[4]As touching my life from my childhood and what it was from the beginning among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews, |
| [5]Which knewG4267[G5723] meG3165 from the beginningG509, ifG1437 they wouldG2309[G5725] testifyG3140[G5721], thatG3754 afterG2596 the most straitestG196 sectG139 of ourG2251 religionG2356 I livedG2198[G5656] a PhariseeG5330. |
[5]Which knew me heretofore (if they would testify) that after the most strait sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. |
| [6]AndG2532 nowG3568 I standG2476[G5758] and am judgedG2919[G5746] forG1909 the hopeG1680 of the promiseG1860 madeG1096[G5637] ofG5259 GodG2316 untoG4314 our fathersG3962: |
[6]And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers. |
| [7]UntoG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, instantlyG1722[G1616] servingG3000[G5723] God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679[G5719] to comeG2658[G5658]. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope's sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458[G5743] ofG5259 the JewsG2453. |
[7]Whereunto our twelve tribes instantly serving God day and night, hope to come: for the which hope's sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. |
| [8]WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919[G5743] incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453[G5719] the deadG3498? |
[8]Why should it be thought a thing incredible unto you, that God should raise again the dead? |
| [9]IG1473 verilyG3303[G3767] thoughtG1380[G5656] with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163[G5750] to doG4238[G5658] many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480. |
[9]I also verily thought in myself, that I ought to do many contrary things against the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. |
| [10]Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160[G5656] inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623[G5656] in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983[G5631] authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337[G5746], I gaveG2702[G5656] my voice against themG5586. |
[10]Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: for many of the Saints I shut up in prison, having received authority of the high Priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my sentence. |
| [11]AndG2532 I punishedG5097[G5723] themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315[G5707] them to blasphemeG987[G5721]; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693[G5740] themG846, I persecutedG1377[G5707] them evenG2532 untoG1519[G2193] strangeG1854 citiesG4172. |
[11]And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, even unto strange cities. |
| [12][G2532]WhereuponG1722[G3739] as I wentG4198[G5740] toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749, |
[12]At which time, even as I went to Damascus with authority, and commission from the high Priests, |
| [13]At middayG2250[G3319], O kingG935, I sawG1492[G5627] inG2596 the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, aboveG5228 the brightnessG2987 of the sunG2246, shining round aboutG4034[G5660] meG3165 andG2532 them which journeyedG4198[G5740] withG4862 meG1698. |
[13]At midday, O King, I saw in the way a light from heaven, passing the brightness of the sun, shine round about me, and them which went with me. |
| [14]AndG1161 when weG2257 wereG2667 allG3956 fallenG2667[G5631] toG1519 the earthG1093, I heardG191[G5656] a voiceG5456 speakingG2980[G5723] untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 sayingG3004[G5723] in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377[G5719] meG3165? it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979[G5721] againstG4314 the pricksG2759. |
[14]So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against pricks. |
| [15]AndG1161 IG1473 saidG2036[G5627], WhoG5101 art thouG1488[G5748], LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036[G5627], IG1473 amG1510[G5748] JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.[G5719] |
[15]Then I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. |
| [16]ButG235 riseG450[G5628], andG2532 standG2476[G5628] uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700[G5681] unto theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400[G5664] theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492[G5627], andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3700[G5701] unto theeG4671; |
[16]But rise and stand up on thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witness, both of the things which thou hast seen, and of the things in the which I will appear unto thee, |
| [17]DeliveringG1807[G5734] theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649[G5719] theeG4571, |
[17]Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, |
| [18]To openG455[G5658] theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994[G5658] them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983[G5629] forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37[G5772] by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691. |
[18]To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by faith in me. |
| [19]WhereuponG3606, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096[G5633] notG3756 disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701: |
[19]Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision, |
| [20]ButG235 shewedG518[G5723][G5625][G518][G5707] firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340[G5721] andG2532 turnG1994[G5721] toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238[G5723] worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341. |
[20]But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and turn to God, and do works worthy amendment of life. |
| [21]ForG1752 these causesG5130 the JewsG2453 caughtG4815[G5642] meG3165 inG1722 the templeG2411, and went aboutG3987[G5711] to killG1315 meG5670. |
[21]For this cause the Jews caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me. |
| [22]HavingG5177 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177[G5631] helpG1947 ofG3844 GodG2316, I continueG2476[G5758] untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250, witnessingG3140[G5746] bothG5037 to smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004[G5723] none other thingsG3762 thanG1622 those whichG3739[G5037] the prophetsG4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 did sayG2980[G5656] shouldG3195[G5723] comeG1096:[G5738] |
[22]Nevertheless, I obtained help of God, and continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, than those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come, |
| [23]ThatG1487 ChristG5547 should sufferG3805, and thatG1487 he should be the firstG4413 that should riseG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and shouldG3195[G5719] shewG2605[G5721] lightG5457 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to the GentilesG1484. |
[23]To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. |
| [24]AndG1161 as heG846 thusG5023 spake for himselfG626[G5740], FestusG5347 saidG5346[G5713] with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105[G5736]; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062[G5719] theeG4571 madG1519.[G3130] |
[24]And as he thus answered for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art besides thyself: much learning doth make thee mad. |
| [25]ButG1161 he saidG5346[G5748], I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105[G5736], most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669[G5736] the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997. |
[25]But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speak the words of truth and soberness. |
| [26]ForG1063 the kingG935 knowethG1987[G5736] ofG4012 theseG5130 things, beforeG4314 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I speakG2980[G5719] freelyG3955[G5740]: forG1063 I am persuadedG3982[G5743] thatG3756 noneG5100[G3762] of these thingsG5130 are hiddenG2990[G5721] from himG846; forG1063 this thingG5124 wasG2076[G5748] notG3756 doneG4238[G5772] inG1722 a cornerG1137. |
[26]For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak boldly: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hid from him: for this thing was not done in a corner. |
| [27]KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thouG4100[G5719] the prophetsG4396? I knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 thou believestG4100.[G5719] |
[27]O King Agrippa, believest thou the Prophets? I know that thou believest. |
| [28]ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346[G5713] untoG4314 PaulG3972, AlmostG1722[G3641] thou persuadestG3982[G5719] meG3165 to beG1096[G5635] a ChristianG5546. |
[28]Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to become a Christian. |
| [29]AndG1161 PaulG3972 saidG2036[G5627], I wouldG302[G2172][G5665] to GodG2316, that notG3756 onlyG3440 thouG4571, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 that hearG191[G5723] meG3450 this dayG4594, wereG1096[G5635] bothG2532 almostG1722[G3641], andG2532 altogetherG1722[G4183] suchG5108 asG3697[G2504] I amG1510[G5748], exceptG3924 theseG5130 bondsG1199. |
[29]Then Paul said, I would to God that not only thou, but also all that hear me today, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. |
| [30]AndG2532 when heG846 hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036[G5631], the kingG935 rose upG450[G5627], andG2532 the governorG2232, andG5037 BerniceG959, andG2532 they that sat withG4775[G5740] themG846: |
[30]And when he had thus spoken, the King rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them. |
| [31]AndG2532 when they were gone asideG402[G5660], they talkedG2980[G5707] betweenG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004[G5723],[G3754] ThisG3778 manG444 doethG4238[G5719] nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199. |
[31]And when they were gone apart, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds. |
| [32]ThenG1161 saidG5346[G5713] AgrippaG67 unto FestusG5347, ThisG3778 manG444 mightG1410[G5711] have been set at libertyG630[G5771], ifG1508 he hadG1941 notG1508 appealed untoG1941[G5716] CaesarG2541. |
[32]Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been loosed, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. |
