And he said, G5346 Men, G435 brothers, G80 and fathers, G3962 listen; G191 The God G2316 of glory G1391 appeared G3700 to our father G3962 Abraham, G11 when he was in Mesopotamia, G3318 before G4250 G2228 he dwelled G2730 in Charran, G5488

Men G435 and brothers, G80 children G5207 of the stock G1085 of Abraham, G11 and whoever G3588 among G1722 you fears G5399 God, G2316 to you is the word G3056 of this G5026 salvation G4991 sent. G649

And Paul, G3972 earnestly G816 beholding G816 the council, G4892 said, G2036 Men G435 and brothers, G80 I have lived G4176 in all G3956 good G18 conscience G4893 before God G2316 until G891 this G5026 day. G2250

But when Paul G3972 perceived G1097 that the one G1520 part G3313 were Sadducees, G4523 and the other G2087 Pharisees, G5330 he cried G2896 out in the council, G4892 Men G435 and brothers, G80 I am G1510 a Pharisee, G5330 the son G5207 of a Pharisee: G5330 of the hope G1680 and resurrection G386 of the dead G3498 I am called G2919 in question. G2919

And it came G1096 to pass, that after G3326 three G5140 days G2250 Paul G3972 called G4779 the chief G4413 of the Jews G2453 together: G4779 and when they were come G4905 together, G4905 he said G3004 to them, Men G435 and brothers, G80 though I have committed G4160 nothing G3762 against G1727 the people, G2992 or G2228 customs G1485 of our fathers, G3971 yet was I delivered G3860 prisoner G1198 from Jerusalem G2414 into G1519 the hands G5495 of the Romans. G4514

And they drew G4264 Alexander G223 out of the multitude, G3793 the Jews G2453 putting G4261 him forward. G4261 And Alexander G223 beckoned G2678 with the hand, G5495 and would G2309 have made G626 his defense G626 to the people. G1218

Then G1161 Paul, G3972 after that the governor G2232 had beckoned G3506 to him to speak, G3004 answered, G611 For as much as I know G1987 that you have been G5607 of many G4183 years G2094 a judge G2923 to this G5129 nation, G1484 I do the more G2115 cheerfully G2115 answer G626 for myself: G1683

While he answered G626 for himself, Neither G3777 against G1519 the law G3551 of the Jews, G2453 neither G3777 against G1519 the temple, G2411 nor G3777 yet against G1519 Caesar, G2541 have I offended G264 any G5100 thing at all.

To whom G3739 I answered, G611 It is not the manner G1485 of the Romans G4514 to deliver G5483 any G5100 man G444 to die, G684 before G4250 that he which is accused G2723 have G2192 the accusers G2725 face G4383 to face, G4383 and have G2983 license G5117 to answer G627 for himself concerning G4012 the crime G1462 laid G1462 against him.

Then G1161 Agrippa G67 said G5346 to Paul, G3972 You are permitted G2010 to speak G3004 for yourself. G4572 Then G5119 Paul G3972 stretched G1614 forth G1614 the hand, G5495 and answered G626 for himself:

I think G2233 myself G1683 happy, G3107 king G935 Agrippa, G67 because I shall answer G626 for myself this G4594 day G4594 before G1909 you touching G4012 all G3956 the things whereof G3739 I am accused G1458 of the Jews: G2453

And as he thus G5023 spoke G626 for himself, Festus G5347 said G5346 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 Paul, G3972 you are beside G3105 yourself; much G4183 learning G1121 does make G4062 you mad. G1519 G3130

And when G3752 they bring G4374 you to the synagogues, G4864 and to magistrates, G746 and powers, G1849 take you no G3361 thought G3309 how G4459 or G2228 what G5101 thing you shall answer, G626 or G2228 what G5101 you shall say: G2036

Settle G5087 it therefore G3767 in your G5216 hearts, G2588 not to meditate G4304 before G4304 what you shall answer: G626

Which G3748 show G1731 the work G2041 of the law G3551 written G1123 in their hearts, G2588 their conscience G4893 also G4828 bearing G4828 witness, G4828 and their thoughts G3053 the mean G3342 while accusing G2723 or G2228 else G2532 excusing G626 one G240 another; G240 )

My G1699 answer G627 to them that do examine G350 me is this, G3778

For behold G2400 this G5124 selfsame G846 thing, that you sorrowed G3076 after G2596 a godly G2596 G2316 sort, what G4214 carefulness G4710 it worked G2716 in you, yes, G235 what clearing G627 of yourselves, yes, G235 what indignation, G24 yes, G235 what fear, G5401 yes, G235 what vehement G1972 desire, G1972 yes, G235 what zeal, G2205 yes, G235 what revenge! G1557 In all G3956 things you have approved G4921 yourselves G1438 to be clear G53 in this G3588 matter. G4229

Again, G3825 think G1380 you that we excuse G626 ourselves to you? we speak G2980 before G2714 God G2316 in Christ: G5547 but we do all G3956 things, dearly beloved, G27 for your G5216 edifying. G3619

Even G2531 as it is meet G1342 for me to think G5426 this G5124 of you all, G3956 because G1223 I have G2192 you in my heart; G2588 inasmuch G1909 G3745 as both G5037 in my bonds, G1199 and in the defense G627 and confirmation G951 of the gospel, G2098 you all G3956 are partakers G4791 of my grace. G5485

But the other of love, G26 knowing G1492 that I am set G2749 for the defense G627 of the gospel. G2098

At G1722 my first G4413 answer G627 no G3762 man G3762 stood G4836 with me, but all G3956 men forsook G1459 me: I pray God that it may not be laid G3049 to their charge. G3049

But sanctify G37 the Lord G2962 God G2316 in your G5216 hearts: G2588 and be ready G2092 always G104 to give an answer G627 to every G3956 man that asks G154 you a reason G3056 of the hope G1680 that is in you with meekness G4240 and fear: G5401
