Paul’s Early Life

1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself:
2 “I think myself ahappy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer bfor myself before you concerning all the things of which I am caccused by the Jews,  
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4 “My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know.
5 They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to athe strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Acts 26:1

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.
