Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21
For these
causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill
me.
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
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
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
But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak
forth the words of truth and soberness.
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
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
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
And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the
governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31
And when they were gone aside, they talked
between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32
Then said
Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
CHAPTER 27
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other
prisoners unto
one
named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
2
And entering into a ship of
Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia;
one
Aristarchus, a Macedonian
of Thessalonica, being with us.
3
And the next
day
we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
entreated Paul, and gave
him
liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4
And when we had
launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5
And when we
had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra,
a city
of Lycia.
6
And there the
centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7
And when we had
sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we
sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is
called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city
of
Lasea.
9
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was
now already past, Paul admonished
them,
10
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage
will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things
which were spoken by Paul.
12
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more
part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice,
and there
to winter;
