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.
8 Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?
9 a“Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things1 contrary to the name of bJesus of Nazareth.
10 aThis I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority bfrom the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.
