Paul Offers His Defense
26:1 So Agrippa said to Paul , “You have permission to speak for yourself .” Then Paul held out his hand and began his defense :
26:2 “Regarding all the things I have been accused of by the Jews , King Agrippa , I consider myself fortunate that I am about to make my defense before you today ,
26:3 because you are especially familiar with all the customs and controversial issues of the Jews . Therefore I ask you to listen to me patiently .
26:4 Now all the Jews know the way I lived from my youth , spending my life from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem .
26:5 They know, because they have known me from time past , if they are willing to testify , that according to the strictest party of our religion , I lived as a Pharisee .
26:6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors ,
26:7 a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve God night and day . Concerning this hope the Jews are accusing me, Your Majesty !
