New Testament

Acts 26:19-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. "So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision,

20. but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.

21. For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

22. So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place;

23. that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

24. While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, "Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad."

25. But Paul said, "I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter words of sober truth.
