## Acts 26:24-29 in Context (Verses 21–32 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/acts/26/21) For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill *me*.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/acts/26/22) Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/acts/26/23) That Christ should suffer, *and* that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/acts/26/24) And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/acts/26/25) But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/acts/26/26) For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/acts/26/27) King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/acts/26/28) Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/acts/26/29) And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/acts/26/30) And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
 
 [31 ](/kjv/acts/26/31) And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/acts/26/32) Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
