Incredible with you (apiston par umin). This old word apiston (a privative and pistov) means either unfaithful (Luke 12:46), unbelieving (John 20:27), or unbelievable as here). Paul turns suddenly from Agrippa to the audience (par umin, plural), most of whom were probably Gentiles and scouted the doctrine of the resurrection as at Athens (Acts 17:32).
If God doth raise the dead (ei o qeov nekrouv egeirei). Condition of the first class assuming that God does raise dead people. Only God can do it. This rhetorical question needs no answer, though the narrative resumed in verse Acts 26:9 does it in a way.
