1Agrippa was like, "Yo Paul, you can spill your tea now." So Paul reached out his hand and was like, "Bet, I got this."

2I'm feeling blessed, King Agrippa, 'cause I get to explain myself today about all the shady stuff the Jews are saying.

3Especially since I know you're super knowledgeable about all the Jewish vibes and questions, so I’m asking you to listen up, no cap.

4The way I’ve lived since I was a kid, starting out in my hometown in Jerusalem, all the Jews know me, fr.

5They’ve known me since day one, and if they wanna keep it real, they’d say I was living like a Pharisee, the strictest crew in our faith.

6Now I’m here getting judged for the hope of the promise God made to our ancestors, and that’s just wild.

7Our twelve tribes are out here serving God day and night, hoping for that promise to drop. King Agrippa, that’s why the Jews are coming for me.

8Like, why do you think it’s sus that God can bring people back from the dead?

9I legit thought I had to do a bunch of stuff against the name of Jesus from Nazareth, no cap.

10I did just that in Jerusalem; I locked up a bunch of the saints after getting the green light from the chief priests, and when they got killed, I was totally down with that.

11I was always flexing on them in every synagogue, making them lowkey blaspheme; I was mad sus and chased them down in random cities.

12So, I was on my way to Damascus with some serious authority from the top priests, no cap.

13At noon, O king, I peeped a vibe from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and my crew.

14When we all hit the ground, I heard a voice sayin' to me in Hebrew, "Saul, Saul, why you trippin' on me? It's tough to fight back."

15I asked, "Who are you, Lord?" And He said, "It's me, Jesus, the one you're coming for."

16But get up and stand tall: I showed up for a reason, to make you a minister and a witness of what you've seen and what I'm gonna show you.

17I'm here to save you from the people and the Gentiles, to whom I'm sending you now, fr.

18To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from Satan's power to God, so they can get that forgiveness and join the squad that's all about faith in me.

19So, O king Agrippa, I was totally down for the heavenly vision, no doubt.

20I first told the peeps in Damascus, then in Jerusalem, and all over Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do some real works for that repentance vibe.

21The Jews caught me in the temple, tryna take me out for no reason, fr.

22But with God's help, I'm still here, vibing and telling everyone, big and small, the same stuff Moses and the prophets said would go down.

23That Christ would suffer and be the first to bounce back from the dead, bringing light to the peeps and the Gentiles.

24While he was speaking, Festus was like, "Paul, you’re wildin'; all this learning got you acting sus."

25But I’m not sus, my dude Festus; I’m just spitting straight truth, no cap.

26The king knows all this, and I’m just keeping it real with him; nothing's hidden from him, this ain't no secret mission.

27King Agrippa, you feeling the prophets? I know you are, no doubt.

28Agrippa was like, "You’re almost making me a Christian, fam."

29And I said, "I wish everyone here was vibing like me, except for these chains, periodt."

30After I said that, the king bounced, along with the governor and Bernice, and everyone chilling with them.

31When they peaced out, they were like, "This dude ain't done anything to get locked up or even face the death penalty, fr."

32Agrippa told Festus, "This guy could've been free, but he went and appealed to Caesar, no cap."

1Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

2I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

3Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

4My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

5Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

6And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

7Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

9I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

11And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

12Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

16But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

17Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

20But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

21For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

22Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

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

24And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

25But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

26For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

27King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

28Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

29And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

30And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

31And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

32Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cesar.
