Acts 使徒行传_Ac_26


1Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." So Paul motioned with his hand and began his defense 1:


2"King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today as I make my defense against all the accusations 2 of the Jews,


3and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies 3. Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently.


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.


5They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect 4 of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.


6And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our fathers that I am on trial today.


7This 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.


8Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?


9"I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.


10And 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.


11Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. In my obsession 5 against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute 6 them.


12"On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.


13About 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.


14We 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 7.'


15"Then I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?'


16" 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied. '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.


17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them


18to 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.'


19"So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.


20First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent 8 and turn to God and prove their repentance 9 by their deeds.


21That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.


22But 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--


23that the Christ would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to his own people and to the Gentiles."


24At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. "You are out of your mind, Paul!" he shouted. "Your great learning is driving you insane."


25"I am not insane, most excellent Festus," Paul replied. "What I am saying is true and reasonable.


26The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.


27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do."


28Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian 10?"


29Paul replied, "Short time or long--I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."


30The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them.


31They left the room, and while talking with one another, they said, "This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment 11."


32Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
