But Paul - I am not raving (saith he), most noble Festus, - but, the declarations of truth and soberness, am I sounding forth:

For well-knoweth, the king, concerning these things, unto whom, with boldness of utterance, am I speaking; for, that these things are not hidden from him, I am well persuaded, - for, not in a corner, hath this thing been done.

And, Paul, answered - I could pray unto God that, both almost and altogether, not only thou but all they who are hearing me this day, might become such, - as even, I, am, excepting these bonds.

And, retiring, they began conversing one with another, saying, Nothing worthy of death or of bonds, doth this man practise.

And, Agrippa, unto Festus, said - This man might have been released, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
