Acts 26:1-23

Then
<1161>
Agrippa
<67>
said
<5346> (5713)
unto
<4314>
Paul
<3972>_,
Thou
<4671>
art permitted
<2010> (5743)
to speak
<3004> (5721)
for
<5228>
thyself
<4572>_.
Then
<5119>
Paul
<3972>
stretched forth
<1614> (5660)
the hand
<5495>_,
and answered for himself
<626> (5711)_:
I think
<2233> (5766)
myself
<1683>
happy
<3107>_,
king
<935>
Agrippa
<67>_,
because I shall
<3195> (5723)
answer for myself
<626> (5738)
this day
<4594>
before
<1909>
thee
<4675>
touching
<4012>
all the things
<3956>
whereof
<3739>
I am accused
<1458> (5743)
of
<5259>
the Jews
<2453>_:
Especially
<3122>
[because I know
<1492> (5761)_]
thee
<4571>
to be
<5607> (5752)
expert
<1109> <5037>
in all
<3956>
customs
<1485>
and
<2532>
questions
<2213>
which are among
<2596>
the Jews
<2453>_:
wherefore
<1352>
I beseech
<1189> (5736)
thee
<4675>
to hear
<191> (5658)
me
<3450>
patiently
<3116>_.
My
<3450>
manner
<3303> <3767>
of life
<981>
from
<1537>
my youth
<3503>_,
which
<3588>
was
<1096> (5637)
at
<575>
the first
<746>
among
<1722>
mine
<3450>
own nation
<1484>
at
<1722>
Jerusalem
<2414>_,
know
<2467> (5758)
all
<3956>
the Jews
<2453>_;
Which knew
<4267> (5723)
me
<3165>
from the beginning
<509>_,
if
<1437>
they would
<2309> (5725)
testify
<3140> (5721)_,
that
<3754>
after
<2596>
the most straitest
<196>
sect
<139>
of our
<2251>
religion
<2356>
I lived
<2198> (5656)
a Pharisee
<5330>_.
And
<2532>
now
<3568>
I stand
<2476> (5758)
and am judged
<2919> (5746)
for
<1909>
the hope
<1680>
of the promise
<1860>
made
<1096> (5637)
of
<5259>
God
<2316>
unto
<4314>
our fathers
<3962>_:
Unto
<1519>
which
<3739>
[promise] our
<2257>
twelve tribes
<1429>_,
instantly
<1722> <1616>
serving
<3000> (5723)
[God] day
<2250>
and
<2532>
night
<3571>_,
hope
<1679> (5719)
to come
<2658> (5658)_.
For
<4012>
which
<3739>
hope's sake
<1680>_,
king
<935>
Agrippa
<67>_,
I am accused
<1458> (5743)
of
<5259>
the Jews
<2453>_.
{day and night: Gr. night and day}
Why
<5101>
should it be thought a thing
<2919> (5743)
incredible
<571>
with
<3844>
you
<5213>_,
that
<1487>
God
<2316>
should raise
<1453> (5719)
the dead
<3498>_?
I
<1473>
verily
<3303> <3767>
thought
<1380> (5656)
with myself
<1683>_,
that I ought
<1163> (5750)
to do
<4238> (5658)
many things
<4183>
contrary
<1727>
to
<4314>
the name
<3686>
of Jesus
<2424>
of Nazareth
<3480>_.
Which thing
<3739>
I
<4160> (0)
also
<2532>
did
<4160> (5656)
in
<1722>
Jerusalem
<2414>_:
and
<2532>
many
<4183>
of the saints
<40>
did
<2623> (0)
I
<1473>
shut up
<2623> (5656)
in prison
<5438>_,
having received
<2983> (5631)
authority
<1849>
from
<3844>
the chief priests
<749>_;
and
<5037>
when they
<846>
were put to death
<337> (5746)_,
I gave
<2702> (5656)
my voice
<5586>
against [them].
And
<2532>
I punished
<5097> (5723)
them
<846>
oft
<4178>
in
<2596>
every
<3956>
synagogue
<4864>_,
and compelled
<315> (5707)
[them] to blaspheme
<987> (5721)_;
and
<5037>
being
<1693> (0)
exceedingly
<4057>
mad against
<1693> (5740)
them
<846>_,
I persecuted
<1377> (5707)
[them] even
<2532>
unto
<1519> <2193>
strange
<1854>
cities
<4172>_.
<2532>@ Whereupon
<1722> <3739>
as I went
<4198> (5740)
to
<1519>
Damascus
<1154>
with
<3326>
authority
<1849>
and
<2532>
commission
<2011>
from
<3844>
the chief priests
<749>_,
At midday
<2250> <3319>_,
O king
<935>_,
I saw
<1492> (5627)
in
<2596>
the way
<3598>
a light
<5457>
from heaven
<3771>_,
above
<5228>
the brightness
<2987>
of the sun
<2246>_,
shining round about
<4034> (5660)
me
<3165>
and
<2532>
them which journeyed
<4198> (5740)
with
<4862>
me
<1698>_.
And
<1161>
when we
<2257>
were
<2667> (0)
all
<3956>
fallen
<2667> (5631)
to
<1519>
the earth
<1093>_,
I heard
<191> (5656)
a voice
<5456>
speaking
<2980> (5723)
unto
<4314>
me
<3165>_,
and
<2532>
saying
<3004> (5723)
in the Hebrew
<1446>
tongue
<1258>_,
Saul
<4549>_,
Saul
<4549>_,
why
<5101>
persecutest thou
<1377> (5719)
me
<3165>_?
[it is] hard
<4642>
for thee
<4671>
to kick
<2979> (5721)
against
<4314>
the pricks
<2759>_.
And
<1161>
I
<1473>
said
<2036> (5627)_,
Who
<5101>
art thou
<1488> (5748)_,
Lord
<2962>_?
And
<1161>
he said
<2036> (5627)_,
I
<1473>
am
<1510> (5748)
Jesus
<2424>
whom
<3739>
thou
<4771>
persecutest
<1377> (5719)_.
But
<235>
rise
<450> (5628)_,
and
<2532>
stand
<2476> (5628)
upon
<1909>
thy
<4675>
feet
<4228>_:
for
<1063>
I have appeared
<3700> (5681)
unto thee
<4671>
for
<1519>
this purpose
<5124>_,
to make
<4400> (5664)
thee
<4571>
a minister
<5257>
and
<2532>
a witness
<3144>
both
<5037>
of these things which
<3739>
thou hast seen
<1492> (5627)_,
and
<5037>
of those things in the which
<3739>
I will appear
<3700> (5701)
unto thee
<4671>_;
Delivering
<1807> (5734)
thee
<4571>
from
<1537>
the people
<2992>_,
and
<2532>
[from] the Gentiles
<1484>_,
unto
<1519>
whom
<3739>
now
<3568>
I send
<649> (5719)
thee
<4571>_,
To open
<455> (5658)
their
<846>
eyes
<3788>_,
[and] to turn
<1994> (5658)
[them] from
<575>
darkness
<4655>
to
<1519>
light
<5457>_,
and
<2532>
[from] the power
<1849>
of Satan
<4567>
unto
<1909>
God
<2316>_,
that they
<846>
may receive
<2983> (5629)
forgiveness
<859>
of sins
<266>_,
and
<2532>
inheritance
<2819>
among
<1722>
them which are sanctified
<37> (5772)
by faith
<4102>
that is in
<1519>
me
<1691>_.
Whereupon
<3606>_,
O king
<935>
Agrippa
<67>_,
I was
<1096> (5633)
not
<3756>
disobedient
<545>
unto the heavenly
<3770>
vision
<3701>_:
But
<235>
shewed
<518> (5723) (5625) <518> (5707)
first
<4412>
unto them of
<1722>
Damascus
<1154>_,
and
<2532>
at Jerusalem
<2414>_,
and
<5037>
throughout
<1519>
all
<3956>
the coasts
<5561>
of Judaea
<2449>_,
and
<2532>
[then] to the Gentiles
<1484>_,
that they should repent
<3340> (5721)
and
<2532>
turn
<1994> (5721)
to
<1909>
God
<2316>_,
and do
<4238> (5723)
works
<2041>
meet
<514>
for repentance
<3341>_.
For
<1752>
these causes
<5130>
the Jews
<2453>
caught
<4815> (5642)
me
<3165>
in
<1722>
the temple
<2411>_,
and went about
<3987> (5711)
to kill
<1315> (5670)
[me].
Having
<5177> (0)
therefore
<3767>
obtained
<5177> (5631)
help
<1947>
of
<3844>
God
<2316>_,
I continue
<2476> (5758)
unto
<891>
this
<5026>
day
<2250>_,
witnessing
<3140> (5746)
both
<5037>
to small
<3398>
and
<2532>
great
<3173>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)
none other things
<3762>
than
<1622>
those which
<3739> <5037>
the prophets
<4396>
and
<2532>
Moses
<3475>
did say
<2980> (5656)
should
<3195> (5723)
come
<1096> (5738)_:
That
<1487>
Christ
<5547>
should suffer
<3805>_,
[and] that
<1487>
he should be the first
<4413>
that should rise
<386>
from
<1537>
the dead
<3498>_,
and should
<3195> (5719)
shew
<2605> (5721)
light
<5457>
unto the people
<2992>_,
and
<2532>
to the Gentiles
<1484>_.
