Festus and Agrippa Respond

24

At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”

25

But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.

26

For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.

27

King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

28

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”

29

“Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”
