Acts 26:1
Paul's Address Before King Agrippa
SUMMARY OF ACTS 26: Agrippa's Knowledge of the Law and the Jews.
Paul's Early Career. The Great Doctrine of the Resurrection. His
Hatred of Christ. The Manifestation of the Risen Lord to Paul Near
Damascus. Paul's Preaching of the Suffering Christ. The Interruption
of Festus and the Reply. Paul's Personal Appeal to Agrippa. The
Decision That Paul Had Done Nothing Worthy of Bonds.
Then Agrippa said unto Paul. Not Agrippa, but Festus had the
authority in the province, but this meeting was arranged in order that
Agrippa might investigate the case and assist Festus in formulating the
charges. See Acts 25:26. Hence the king calls upon Paul to
speak.
Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. This great occasion
(Acts 25:23) gave Paul a great opportunity. Instead of using it to
defend himself, he preached the gospel to that great audience. His
address (Acts 26:2-23) is a masterpiece.
