44:026:022 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 44:026:023 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 44:026:024 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 44:026:025 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 44:026:026 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. 44:026:027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 44:026:028 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 44:026:029 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 44:026:030 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: 44:026:031 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 44:026:032 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. 44:027:001 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. 44:027:002 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 44:027:003 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 44:027:004 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 44:027:005 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 44:027:006 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 44:027:007 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 44:027:008 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
