Acts 26:29

Acts 26:29

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.”

28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”

29 And Paul said, ^a“I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.”

30 When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them;

31 and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, ^a“This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”

32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set ^afree ^bif he had not appealed to Caesar.”

Acts 26:29 Paul said, I would to God, etc. His reply is courteous, but of intense earnestness, a last effort to save souls that were deeply stirred. He would that king and governor, all, Jew and Gentile, shared his hope of a glorious inheritance, and were, like himself, at peace with God;—such as he, except these bonds. It is probable that his chains were then hanging upon his arms, and that he indicated them by a gesture.
