Paul's Testimony before Festus and Agrippa (11-17-24)
Nov 17, 2024 • Dr. Jim Glass
After Paul asked to present his case before Caesar, a new governor by the name of Festus was appointed. Because he knew (and cared) so little about Paul's case, he arranged for King Agrippa II to hear Paul. During the hearing, Paul shared his testimony and defended himself by declaring he had said nothing that was contrary to the Law and the prophets. He concluded his message by asking Agrippa if he—a Jew—believed what the prophets had written. Agrippa offered a smug reply asking if he really thought Paul could make a Christian out of him, whereupon Paul responded that, not only did he wish Agrippa would become a Christian, but that everyone who heard him that day would trust Christ as he did.
