But speak forth (alla apofqeggomai). Verb for dignified and elevated discourse, a word from the literary Koin‚, not the vernacular. In N.T. only here and Acts 2:4, Acts 2:14 which see. It occurs three times in Vettius Valens in a "mantic" sense. Paul was not ruffled by the rude and excited interruption of Festus, but speaks with perfect courtesy in his reply "words of truth and soberness." The old word swfrosunh (soundness of mind) from swfrwn (and that from swv and frhn) is directly opposed to "madness" (mania) and in N.T. occurs only here and I Timothy 2:15.
