:22. But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day,
witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those
which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass:

26:23. That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that
should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and to the
Gentiles.

26:24. As he spoke these things and made his answer, Festus said with a
loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee
mad.

26:25. And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak
words of truth and soberness.

26:26. For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with
confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from
him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.

26:27. Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou

not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as

26:32. And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.

Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion,
named Julius, of the band Augusta,

27:2. Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail
by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica,
continuing with us.

27:3. And the day following, we came to Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul
courteously, permitted him to go to his friends and to take care of
himself.

27:4. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
because the winds were contrary.

27:5. And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to
Lystra, which is in Lycia.

27:6. And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing

27:7. And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come
