Diaglott, Acts 26

Acts 26:1 Agrippa and to the Paul said: It is permitted for thee in behalf of thyself to speak. Then the Paul made a defence, having stretched out the hand;

Acts 26:2 concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, O king Agrippa, I esteem myself happy, before thee being about to-day to make a defence;

Acts 26:3 especially acquainted being thee of all of the among Jews customs and also questions.

Therefore I entreat thee, patiently to hear of me.

Acts 26:4 The indeed therefore mode of life of me that from youth, that from beginning being among the nation of me in Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

Acts 26:5 previously knowing me from the first, (if they would be willing to testify,) that according to the most rigid sect of the our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Acts 26:6 And now for hope of that to the fathers promise being made by the God, I have stood being judged;

Acts 26:7 to which the twelve tribes of us, in intently night and day serving, hopes to attain; concerning which hope I am accused, O king Agrippa, by Jews.

Acts 26:8 What? incredible is it judged by you, if the God dead ones raises?

Acts 26:9 I indeed therefore thought in myself to the name of Jesus the Nazarene ought many things against to practice.

Acts 26:10 Which also I did in Jerusalem; and many of the saints I in prisons shut up, the from of the high-priests authority having received; being killed and of them, I brought against a vote;

Acts 26:11 and in all the synagogues often publishing them, I was compelling to blaspheme; exceedingly and being furious towards them, I purchased till even into the foreign cities.

Acts 26:12 In which also going to the Damascus with authority and a commission of that from the high-priests,

Acts 26:13 of a day middle, in the way I saw, O king, from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, having shone round me a light and those with me going.

Acts 26:14 All and having fallen down of us on the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect: Saul, Saul, why me persecutest thou? hard for thee against sharp points to kick.

Acts 26:15 I and said: Who art thou, O sir? He and said: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

Acts 26:16 But arise thou, and stand up on the feet of thee; for this for I appeared to thee, to constitute thee a minister and a witness, of what both thou didst see, of what and I will appear to thee;

Acts 26:17 delivering thee from the people and the Gentiles, to whom I thee send,

Acts 26:18 to open eyes of them, of the to have turned from darkness to light, and of the authority of the adversary to the God, of the to receive them forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among those having been sanctified, faith by the into me.

Acts 26:19 There upon, O king Agrippa, not I was disobedient to the heavenly vision;

Acts 26:20 but to those in Damascus first and in Jerusalem, in all and the country of the Judea, and to the Gentiles, I declared to reform, and to turn to the God, worthy of the reformation works doing.

Acts 26:21 On account of these me the Jews having seized in the temple attempted with violent hands to have killed.

Acts 26:22 Help therefore having obtained of that from of the God, till the day this I have stood, testifying to small both and to great, nothing beyond saying, of what both the prophets spoke being about to take place, and Moses;

Acts 26:23 that liable to suffer the Anointed, that first from a resurrection of dead ones a light he is about to announce to the people and to the Gentiles.

Acts 26:24 These things and of him saying in defence the Festus loud with the voice said: Thou art mad, O Paul; the much learning into madness turns about.

Acts 26:25 He but: I am mad; he says: O most noble Festus, but of truth and of sanity word to utter.

Acts 26:26 Is acquainted for concerning these things the king, to whom also being confident I may speak; unobserved by for him any of these things not I am persuaded nothing; not for it is in a corner having been done this.

Acts 26:27 Believest thou, O king Agrippa, in the prophets? I know, that thou believest.

Acts 26:28 The and Agrippa to the Paul said: Within a little me thou persuadest a Christian to become.

Acts 26:29 The and Paul said: I would pray to the God, and within a little and within much not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as even I am, except the chains these.

Acts 26:30 Arose and the king and the governor, the and Bernice, and those being seated with them;

Acts 26:31 and having retired they spoke to each other, saying: That nothing of death worthy or of bonds does the man this.

Acts 26:32 Agrippa and to the Festus said: To have been released might the man this, if not he had called on Caesar.
