Acts 26:1-32

Continuing on from chapter 25 during this court-like inquiry in Caesarea, we ought to remember that the Lord Jesus Christ had previously revealed to Paul that he would go to Rome to be his witness there (Acts 23:11).

Acts 26:1-3:

26:1But Agrippa said towards Paul, "It is permitted to you to speak concerning yourself." Then Paul, having stretched-out (his) hand, defended-himself:
.2"Concerning all of-which-things I am arraigned by Judeans, King Agrippa, I led2 (my mind to regard) myself happy being about to defend-myself today on you, .3especially you being a knower of both all the customs and seekings according to Judeans, on-which-account I supplicate (you) to patiently hear me.

King Agrippa (Herod Agrippa II) gave Paul permission allowing him to tell (bring to light by speaking to) this assembly on behalf of himself. At that time Paul extended his hand indicating that he was about to speak and then he began his defense (speaking words to get away-from or out-of a difficult situation, excusing himself giving an apology or speech offered to plead his case):

"With regards to all of the things that I am arraigned (charged, accused, summoned, called into court) by Judeans, King Agrippa,

…on which account I supplicate you (I express my lack of something specific and my need of help from you, I communicate my needful-request to you in this situation, which is) to listen to me in a manner that is patient (long-suffering, having long-forbearance towards me, long-temperedness).”

[Reference: Acts 9:9-16. Note: verbs with a superscript 2 (2) immediately following them indicate the "perfect" tense - details are provided in the "Relevant Notes" link of this study.]
