I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee, concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews:

And now I stand, and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers:

To which [promise] our twelve tribes, assiduously serving [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

But he said, I am not insane, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
