EXERCISE II. PAUL'S DEFENCE BEFORE AGRIPPA. Acts xxvi. 1. I THEN A grippa | said unto | Paul, || Thou art per mitted to speak for thy | self. ||| Then | Paul | stretched forth the hand, | 7 and | answered | 7 for him | self.||| 7 I think myself | happy,|| King A | grippa, | 7 because I shall | answer for my | self | this | day | 1 before thee, touching | all the things | 7 where | of 7 I am accused | 7 of the | Jews: || wherefore | 1 I beseech thee | 7 to | hear me | patiently. ||| manner of life | 1 from my youth, || 7 My which was at the | first | 7 among mine | own | nation 7 at Jerusalem, I know | all the | Jews; || 7 which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify; 7 that after the most straitest | sect I | 7 of our religion | 7 I | lived a | Pharisee. ||| I 7 And now 7 I stand | 7 and am | judged 1 for the hope of the promise | made of | God | unto our | fathers: 7 unto | which promise | 7 our twelve | tribes, instantly | serving | God | day and | night, | hope to come. || 7 For | which | hope's | sake, | 1 King Agrippa, || I am ac | cused | 7 of the Jews. ||| Why should it be thought | 7 a thing incredible 7 with you, 7 that God | 7 should | raise the dead? า 1 |||I| verily thought with my self, | 7 that I to do many things contrary | 1 to the Jesus of Nazareth. ||| 7 Which | thing | 1 Ι ought name of | I also | | 1 | did | 7 in Jerusalem: | 7 and many of the | saints 7 did I shut up in | prison, | | having received au | thority from the chief | priests; || 7 and | when 1 they were put to death, | 7 I gave | my | voice | 7 against them. ||| 7 And I | punished them | 7 oft | 7 in every | synagogue, | 7 and compelled them 7 to blaspheme; || 7 and being exceedingly | mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. Whereupon as I went to Da mascus, ||7 with authority, | 7 and commission | 7 from the chief | priests, | 7 at | mid | day, |O| king, 1 7 I saw in the way | 7a | light from | heaven, | 7 above the brightness 7 of the | sun, || shining | round a | bout | me, | 7 and | them which | journeyed | with me. ||| 7 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice | speaking unto me, | 1 1 1 | | and | saying | 1 in the | Hebrew | tongue, || Saul,|| Saul, why persecutest thou | me? || 7 it is hard | for thee | 1 to kick against the | pricks. ||| 7 And I | said, Who | art thou, Lord? ||| 7 And he said, 7 I am | Jesus, || whom thou | persecutest. ||| 7 But | rise | 7 and | stand upon thy | feet; || 7 for | I have appeared unto thee | 7 for this purpose, | 7 to 1 make thee a minister | 7 and a witness || both of | 1 these things which thou hast | seen, | 7 and of | those things 7 in the which | 7 I will appear unto thee; || 7 de | livering thee | 7 from the people, | and from the Gentiles, 7 unto | whom | now I send thee; 7 to open their | eyes, | 7 and to turn them | 7 from darkness | 7 to | light, | 7 and from the | power of Satan 7 unto | God; || 7 that they may re | ceive | 7 forgiveness of | sins, | 1 and in | heritance 1 among them which are | sanctified, | 7 by | faith | 7 that is in me. | || Whereupon, | O| king Agrippa, || I was not disobedient | 7 unto the | heavenly vision: ||1 but | showed | first | 7 unto them of Damascus, || 7 and at Jerusalem, | 7 and throughout all the coasts of Judea, 1 and | then │7 to the | Gentiles, || that they should re | pent | 7 and turn to God, | 1 and | do | works | meet for I repentance. || 7 For these | causes 7 the Jews 1 | caught me in the | temple, || 7 and | went about 7 to kill me. ||| Having | therefore | 7 ob | tained | help of God, | 7 I continue unto this day, | witnessing both to small and great, || saying | none | other things 7 than those | 7 which the prophets | 7 and Moses 7 did | say, 7 should come, ||| 7 that | Christ | 7 should | suffer, | 7 and that | he should 1 | 1 1 dead, | 1 I | I be the first 7 that should rise from the and should show | light | 7 unto the people, and to the Gentiles. || 7 And as he thus | spake for himself, || Festus | said with a loud | voice, || Paul, | 1 thou art be | side thyself; || much | learning | 7 doth | | make thee mad. ||| But he | said, | 1 I am | not | mad, | 7 most noble | Festus, | 7 but | speak forth the | words of truth | 7 and soberness. ||| 7 For the king knoweth of these | things, | 1 before | whom | also | 7 I speak | freely; || 1 for | I am persuaded | 7 that none of these things | 7 are | hidden from | him ;||7 for this thing | 7 was not | done in a | corner. King A grippa, | 1 believest thou the prophets? ||| 7 I know | 7 that thou be | lievest. ||| Then | 7 A | grippa | said unto | Paul, | Al | most | thou persuadest me | 7 to be a Christian. ||| And | Paul said, I would to | God, | 7 that | not only | thou, 7 but also all that | hear me | this day, | 1 were both almost, | 7 and | altogether | such as | I am, 7 except | these | bonds. ||| | | | Exodus xv. 1.
