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.
6 aAnd now I stand and am judged for the hope of bthe promise made by God to our fathers.
7 To this promise aour twelve tribes, earnestly serving God bnight and day, chope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.
