Acts 26:19-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision,

²⁰ But made known openly first of all to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout the whole land of Judea, and also among the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works and live lives consistent with and worthy of their repentance.

²¹ Because of these things the Jews seized me in the temple [^[a]enclosure] and tried to do away with me.

²² [But] to this day I have had the help which comes from God [as my ^[b]ally], and so I stand here testifying to small and great alike, asserting nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses declared would come to pass—

²³ That the Christ (the Anointed One) must suffer and that He, by being the first to rise from the dead, would declare and show light both to the [Jewish] people and to the Gentiles.
