Young's Literal Translation
Then
Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou
art
permitted to speak for thyself .
Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and
answered
for
himself
:
And
Agrippa said unto Paul, `It
is
permitted to thee
to
speak for thyself ;'
then Paul having
stretched forth the hand, was
making
a
defence
:
I think
myself
happy
, king Agrippa, because
I shall
answer
for
myself this
day
before thee touching
all
the
things
whereof
I
am
accused
of
the
Jews:
`Concerning
all
things
of
which
I am
accused
by
Jews
, king Agrippa, I have
thought
myself happy,
being
about
to
make
a
defence
before thee to-day,
Especially because
I
know
thee to be expert
in
all customs and questions which
are
among the
Jews :
wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently
.
especially knowing
thee to be acquainted
with
all things
--
both
customs and questions --
among Jews ;
wherefore ,
I beseech thee ,
patiently
to hear me.
My
manner of life from my
youth ,
which was
at
the first
among mine
own
nation at
Jerusalem
, know all the Jews ;
`The
manner of my
life then,
indeed,
from youth --
which from
the beginning
was
among my
nation, in
Jerusalem
--
know do
all the Jews ,
Which
knew
me from the beginning
, if they would
testify, that after the most straitest
sect of our religion
I lived a Pharisee .
knowing
me before
from the first
, (
if they may
be
willing
to
testify, )
that after the most exact
sect of our worship,
I lived a Pharisee ;
And now I
stand
and
am
judged
for the hope of the promise made of
God, unto
our
fathers:
and now for the hope of the promise made to
the
fathers
by
God, I
have
stood
judged,
Unto
which promise
our twelve tribes, instantly
serving
God
day
and
night, hope to come .
For
which hope's
sake
, king Agrippa, I
am
accused
of
the Jews .
to
which our twelve tribes, intently
night and
day
serving
, do
hope to come ,
concerning
which hope
I
am
accused
, king Agrippa, by
the Jews ;
Why should
it be
thought
a
thing
incredible with you, that
God should
raise the dead?
why is
it judged
incredible with you, if
God doth
raise the dead?
I verily
thought with myself, that I
ought
to
do
many
things
contrary
to
the name of Jesus of Nazareth .
`
I ,
indeed,
therefore,
thought with myself, that against
the name of Jesus of Nazareth it
behoved
`me'
many
things
to
do,
Which thing
I
also did in Jerusalem :
and many of the saints did
I shut
up
in prison, having
received
authority
from the chief priests; and
when
they were
put to death, I gave my voice
against them .
which also I
did in Jerusalem ,
and many of the saints I in prison did
shut
up
, from the chief priests having
received
the
authority
; they also
being
put to death, I gave my vote
against them ,
And I
punished
them
oft
in every synagogue, and
compelled
them to blaspheme;
and
being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted
them even unto strange cities.
and in every synagogue, often
punishing
them ,
I
was
constraining
`them'
to speak
evil,
being also
exceedingly mad against them, I was
also
persecuting
`
them '
even unto strange cities.
Whereupon
as
I
went
to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests ,
`In
which
things,
also,
going
on
to Damascus --
with authority and commission from the chief priests --
At midday,
O
king
, I saw in the way a
light
from
heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them
which
journeyed
with me .
at mid-day
, I saw in the way ,
O
king,
out
of
heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a
light
--
and those
going
on
with me ;
And when
we were
all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue
, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou
me? it
is
hard for thee to
kick
against the
pricks .
and we all having
fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect
, Saul, Saul, why me dost
thou
persecute
? hard for thee against pricks to
kick!
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
`
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost
persecute;
But rise, and stand upon thy feet :
for I have
appeared unto
thee for
this
purpose
, to make
thee a
minister
and a witness both of these
things which
thou hast
seen
, and of those
things in the
which I will appear unto
thee ;
but rise, and stand upon thy feet ,
for for
this
I appeared to
thee, to appoint
thee an
officer
and a witness both of the
things thou didst
see
, and of the
things `
in which '
I will appear to
thee ,
Delivering thee from the people, and from
the Gentiles
, unto
whom now I send thee,
delivering thee from the people, and the nations
, to
whom now I send thee,
To open their eyes, and
to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power
of Satan
unto God, that
they
may
receive
forgiveness of sins, and inheritance
among them
which
are
sanctified by faith that is in
me.
to open their eyes, to turn `
them '
from darkness to light, and `
from '
the authority
of the
Adversary
unto God, for
their
receiving
forgiveness of sins, and a
lot
among those
having
been
sanctified ,
by faith that `
is '
toward
me.
Whereupon, O
king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision :
`
Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to
the heavenly vision ,
But shewed
first
unto
them
of
Damascus, and at
Jerusalem, and
throughout
all the coasts
of Judaea
, and then
to the Gentiles
, that
they
should
repent
and turn
to God, and
do
works meet
for
repentance.
but to
those
in
Damascus first
, and to
those
in
Jerusalem, to
all the region
also
of Judea
, and to the nations
, I
was
preaching
to
reform,
and to turn
back
unto
God, doing
works worthy
of
reformation;
For
these causes
the Jews caught me in the temple ,
and
went
about
to kill me.
because
of
these things
the Jews --
having
caught me in the temple --
were
endeavouring
to kill `
me '
.
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 :
`
Having obtained ,
therefore,
help from
God, till
this day, I
have
stood
witnessing both to small and to
great, saying nothing
besides
the
things that
both
the prophets and Moses spake
of
as
about
to
come ,
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
.
that the
Christ is
to
suffer, whether
first by
a
rising
from the dead, he
is
about
to
proclaim
light to
the people and to the nations
. '
And as
he thus spake
for
himself
, Festus said
with a loud voice ,
Paul
, thou art beside
thyself
; much learning doth make
thee mad .
And ,
he thus making
a
defence
, Festus with a loud voice said
, `
Thou art mad,
Paul
; much learning doth turn
thee mad ;'
But
he said
, I am not mad, most noble Festus ;
but speak
forth
the
words
of truth and soberness .
and
he saith
, `
I am not mad, most noble Festus ,
but of truth and soberness the
sayings
I
speak
forth;
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 .
for the king doth
know
concerning
these things, before whom also I speak boldly,
for none of these things ,
I
am
persuaded,
are hidden from him; for this thing hath
not been
done in a corner ;
King Agrippa, believest
thou
the prophets? I know
that thou believest.
thou
dost
believe,
king Agrippa, the prophets? I have
known
that thou dost
believe!'
Then
Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost
thou persuadest
me to be
a Christian .
And
Agrippa said unto Paul, `In
a
little
thou dost
persuade
me to become
a Christian !'
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.
and Paul said, `
I would have
wished
to God, both
in
a
little,
and
in
much,
not only thee
, but also all those
hearing
me to-
day, to
become
such as I also
am --
except these bonds. '
And when
he had
thus
spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and
Bernice, and they
that
sat
with them :
And ,
he having
spoken these
things
, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also
, and those
sitting
with them ,
And when
they
were
gone
aside
, they talked
between
themselves
, saying ,
This man doeth
nothing worthy of death or of bonds .
and having
withdrawn
, they were
speaking
unto
one
another
, saying --
`
This man doth
nothing worthy of death or of bonds ;'
Then
said
Agrippa unto
Festus, This man might have been set
at
liberty,
if he had not appealed unto
Caesar.
and
Agrippa said
to
Festus, `
This man might have been released
if he had not appealed to
Caesar. '
