1 G* And Agrippa G1161 G4314 [²to G3588 G* ³Paul G5346 ¹said], G2010 It is permitted G1473 for you G5228 G4572 [²for yourself G3004 ¹to speak]. G5119 Then G3588 G* Paul G626 made a defense, G1614 having stretched out G3588 the G5495 hand.

2 G4012 Concerning G3956 all G3739 of which G1458 I am accused G5259 by G* the Jews, G935 O king G* Agrippa, G2233 I esteem G1683 myself G3107 blessed G3195 being about G626 to make a defense G1909 unto G1473 you G4594 today;

3 G3122 especially G1109 [³a diviner G1510.6 ²being G1473 ¹you] G3956 of all G3588 the things G2596 among G* the Jews G1485 of both customs G5037 G2532 and G2213 matters. G1352 Therefore G1189 I beseech G1473 you G3116 leniently G191 to hear G1473 me.

4 G3588 Indeed then the G3303 G3767 G981 mode of my life, G1473 G3588 the one G1537 from G3503 youth, G3588 the thing G575 from G746 the beginning G1096 happening G1722 among G3588 G1484 my nation G1473 G1722 in G* Jerusalem, G2467 [⁴understand G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G* ³Jews];

5 G4267 foreknowing G1473 me G509 from the beginning, G1437 (if G2309 they should want G3140 to witness) G3754 that G2596 according to G3588 the G196 exactest G139 sect G3588 G2251 of our G2356 religion G2198 I lived G* a Pharisee.

6 G2532 And G3568 now G1909 for G1680 the hope G3588 of the G4314 [⁵to G3588 ⁶the G3962 ⁷fathers G1860 ¹promise G1096 ²being G5259 ³by G3588 G2316 ⁴God] G2476 I stand G2919 being judged,

7 G1519 in G3739 which G3588 G1429 our twelve tribes, G1473 G1722 [²with G1616 ³intensity G3571 ⁴night G2532 ⁵and G2250 ⁶day G3000 ¹serving], G1679 hope G2658 to arrive; G4012 concerning G3739 which G1680 hope G1458 I am accused, G935 O king G* Agrippa, G5259 by G3588 the G* Jews.

8 G5100 Why G571 [²unbelievable G2919 ¹is it judged] G3844 by G1473 you G1487 if G3588 G2316 God G3498 [² the dead G1453 ¹raises]?

9 G1473 I G3303 indeed G3767 then G1380 thought G1683 to myself G4314 [⁵towards G3588 ⁶the G3686 ⁷name G* ⁸of Jesus G3588 ⁹the G* ¹⁰Nazarene G1163 ¹that it was necessary G4183 ²in many things G1727 ⁴opposite G4238 ³to act].

10 G3739 Which G2532 also G4160 I did G1722 in G* Jerusalem. G2532 And G4183 many G3588 of the G39 holy ones G1473 I G5438 [²in prisons G2623 ¹imprisoned], G3588 G3844 [³from G3588 ⁴the G749 ⁵chief priests G1849 ²authority G2983 ¹receiving]; G337 and for doing away with G5037 G1473 them G2702 I brought down G5586 a vote.

11 G2532 And G2596 in all G3956 G3588 the G4864 synagogues G4178 often G5097 punishing G1473 them, G315 I compelled them G987 to blaspheme. G4057 And extremely G5037 G1693 raging against G1473 them, G1377 I persecuted them G2193 even as G2532 G1519 unto G3588 the G1854 outer G4172 cities.

12 G1722 In G3739 which G2532 also G4198 going G1519 unto G3588 G* Damascus G3326 with G1849 authority G2532 and G2011 delegated power G3588 G3844 by G3588 the G749 chief priests,

13 G2250 [²of the day G3319 ¹in the middle] G2596 in G3588 the G3598 way G1492 I beheld, G935 O king, G3771 from heaven G5228 above G3588 [²the G2987 ³brightness G3588 ⁴of the G2246 ⁵sun G4034 ⁶shining about G1473 ⁷me G5457 ¹light], G2532 and G3588 the ones G4862 [²with G1473 ³me G4198 ¹going].

14 G3956 And all G1161 G2667 of us having fallen down G1473 G1519 onto G3588 the G1093 ground, G191 heard G5456 a voice G2980 speaking G4314 to G1473 me G2532 and G3004 saying G3588 in the G* Hebrew G1258 dialect, G* Saul, G* Saul, G5100 why G1473 do you persecute me? G1377 G4642 It is hard G1473 for you G4314 [²against G2759 ³spurs G2979 ¹to kick].

15 G1473 And I G1161 G2036 said, G5100 Who G1510.2.2 are you, G2962 O Lord? G3588 G1161 And G2036 he said, G1473 I G1510.2.1 am G* Jesus G3739 whom G1473 you G1377 persecute.

16 G235 But G450 rise up, G2532 and G2476 stand G1909 upon G3588 G4228 your feet! G1473 G1519 [²in G3778 ³this G1063 ¹For] G3708 I appeared G1473 to you, G4400 to handpick G1473 you G5257 as an assistant G2532 and G3144 witness G3739 both of what G5037 G1492 you beheld, G3739 and of what G5037 G3708 I shall make known G1473 to you;

17 G1807 taking you out G1473 G1537 from G3588 the G2992 people G2532 and G3588 the G1484 nations, G1519 unto G3739 whom G3568 now G1473 I shall send you, G649

18 G455 to open G3788 their eyes, G1473 G3588 G1994 to turn G575 from G4655 darkness G1519 unto G5457 light, G2532 and G3588 the G1849 authority G3588 G4567 of Satan G1909 unto G3588 G2316 God, G3588 G2983 for them to receive G1473 G859 a release G266 of sins, G2532 and G2819 a lot G1722 among G3588 the ones G37 having been sanctified G4102 by the belief G3588 G1519 in G1473 me.

19 G3606 From where, G935 O king G* Agrippa, G3756 not G1096 to be G545 resisting persuasion G3588 to the G3770 heavenly G3701 apparition,

20 G235 but G3588 to the ones G1722 in G* Damascus G4412 first, G2532 and G* Jerusalem, G1519 [²in G3956 ³all G5037 ¹and] G3588 the G5561 region G3588 of G* Judea, G2532 and G3588 to the G1484 nations, G518 I reported G3340 to repent G2532 and G1994 to turn G1909 unto G3588 G2316 God, G514 [³worthy G3588 G3341 ⁴of repentance G2041 ²works G4238 ¹doing].

21 G1752 Because of G3778 these things G1473 [⁴me G3588 ¹the G* ²Jews G4815 ³having seized] G1722 in G3588 the G2413 temple, G3985 attempted G1315 to lay hands upon me .

22 G1947 [²aid G3767 ³then G5177 ¹Having attained] G3588 G3844 from G3588 G2316 God, G891 unto G3588 G2250 this day G3778 G2476 I have stood, G3143 testifying G3397 both to small G5037 G2532 and G3173 great, G3762 [²nothing G1623 ³outside G3004 ¹saying] G3739 of what G5037 both G3588 the G4396 prophets G2980 [³said G3195 ⁴was about G1096 ⁵to happen G2532 ¹and G* ²Moses],

23 G1487 whether G3805 [³is susceptible of suffering G3588 ¹the G5547 ²Christ]; G1487 whether he G4413 first G1537 through G386 resurrection G3498 of the dead G5457 [³light G3195 ¹is about G2605 ²to announce] G3588 to the G2992 people, G2532 and G3588 to the G1484 nations.

24 G3778 [³ with these things G1161 ¹And G1473 ²having made his defense], G626 G3588 G* Festus G3173 with a great G3588 G5456 voice G5346 said, G3105 You are maniacal, G* Paul; G3588 G4183 many G1473 [³you G1121 ¹letters G1519 ⁴into G3130 ⁵a frenzy G4062 ²dizzies].

25 G3588 G1161 But G3756 I am not G3105 maniacal, G5346 he says, G2903 most excellent G* Festus, G235 but G225 truth G2532 and G4997 discreetness G4487 of words G669 I declare.

26 G1987 [⁶knows G1063 ¹For G4012 ²concerning G3778 ³these things G3588 ⁴the G935 ⁵king], G4314 to G3739 whom G2532 also G3955 openly speaking G2980 I speak. G2990 [⁷to be unaware G1063 G1063 ¹For G1473 ⁶for him G5100 ⁸in any G3778 ⁹of these things G3756 ³not G3982 ²I am ⁴persuaded G3762 ⁵in any way]. G3756 For not G1063 G1722 in G1137 a corner G4238 [²being done G3778 ¹ is this].

27 G4100 You believe, G935 O king G* Agrippa, G3588 the G4396 prophets? G1492 I know G3754 that G4100 you believe.

28 G3588 G1161 And G* Agrippa G4314 [²to G3588 G* ³Paul G5346 ¹said], G1722 By G3641 little G1473 you persuade me G3982 G* to become a Christian. G1096

29 G3588 G1161 And G* Paul G2036 said, G2172 I would make a vow G302 even G3588 to G2316 God, G2532 both G1722 in G3641 a little G2532 and G1722 in G4183 much, G3756 not G3440 only G1473 you, G235 but G2532 also G3956 all G3588 the ones G191 hearing G1473 me G4594 today G1096 to become G5108 such G3697 as to like what G2504 even I G1510.2.1 am, G3924 except G3588 G1199 these bonds. G3778

30 G2532 And G3778 these things G2036 him having said, G1473 G450 [³rose up G3588 ¹the G935 ²king], G2532 and G3588 the G2232 governor, G3588 G5037 and also G* Bernice, G2532 and G3588 the ones G4775 sitting together G1473 with them.

31 G2532 And G402 having withdrawn G2980 they spoke G4314 with G240 one another, G3004 saying G3754 that, G3762 Nothing G2288 [²of death G514 ¹worthy] G2228 or G1199 bonds G4238 [²does G3588 G444 ¹this man]. G3778

32 G* And Agrippa G1161 G3588 G* said to Festus, G5346 G630 [³to be loosed G1410 ²was able G3588 G444 ¹This man] G3778 G1508 if he had not G1941 called upon G* Caesar.
