Acts 26

Paul defends himself before King Agrippa, recounting his life as a Pharisee, his Damascus road encounter with Jesus (who commissions him as a servant and witness to open Gentiles' eyes, turning them from darkness and Satan's power to God for forgiveness of sins), and his preaching of repentance and fulfillment of Mosaic and prophetic hopes that the Messiah must suffer and rise to bring light to Jews and Gentiles.[1][2][3][4] Festus calls him mad, but Agrippa recognizes his innocence, though Paul remains bound for Rome.[1][5]
