44:025:022 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man
           myself.  To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

44:025:023 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with
           great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with
           the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’
           commandment Paul was brought forth.

44:025:024 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here
           present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude
           of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also
           here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

44:025:025 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of
           death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have
           determined to send him.

44:025:026 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. 
           Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially
           before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I
           might have somewhat to write.

44:025:027 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not
           withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

44:026:001 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
           thyself.  Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for
           himself: 

44:026:002 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
           myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I
           am accused of the Jews: 

44:026:003 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and
           questions which are among the Jews:  wherefore I beseech thee
           to hear me patiently.

44:026:004 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among
           mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

44:026:005 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that
           after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a
           Pharisee.

44:026:006 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made
           of God, unto our fathers: 

44:026:007 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God
           day and night, hope to come.  For which hope’s sake, king
           Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

44:026:008 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
           should raise the dead?

44:026:009 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
           contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

44:026:010 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem:  and many of the saints
           did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the
           chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my
           voice against them.
