28. Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time you are trying to persuade me to be Messianic!”
29. And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would pray to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today would be such as I am—except for these chains!”
30. Then the king stood up, as well as the governor, Bernice, and those sitting with them.
31. When they had gone away, they began talking among themselves, saying, “This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”
32. Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free, if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
