[25] But he said, not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. [26] For the king knoweth of things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none are hidden from him; for not done in a corner. [27] King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. [28] Then Agrippa unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest a Christian. [29] And Paul I would to God, that not only but also all that hear this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except bonds. [30] And when he the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: [31] And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. [32] Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, appealed unto Caesar.
