  3. Herod Agrippa II, AD 27/28, son of Agrippa I, originally named Marcus Julius Agrippa, was the seventh & last king of family of Herod the Great, thus last of the Herodians. He was the brother of Berenice and Drusilla (second wife of the Roman procurator Antonius Felix). NOTE: Agrippa, a Jew, was well acquainted with Jewish Custom & Controversies. Agrippa & Berenice are seated on thrones as Paul testifies before them.

Paul Recounts his History Paul’s Final Hearing in Acts & 3rd account of his Conversion & Call; with Agrippa’s Permission Paul speaks, • Paul “stretched out his hand” as a Roman Orator • Jews knew Paul’s history from his childhood • On Trial for Hope in God’s Promises to Israel • Resurrection of Jesus & Followers of Christ • Paul, Acting in Ignorance of the Truth, Persecuted Christians unto Death

  5. Paul Shares his Testimony • “kick against the goads” = Resisting God • Paul’s response to gives Himself Totally • Jesus Promised Paul to Deliver him from, • His own People, Jews • Gentiles, the nations to whom he was sent • Jesus Sends Paul to, • “to open their eyes” • “to turn them from darkness to light” – Gospel • “from the Power (Authority) of Satan” • To Receive Forgiveness of Sin & a Place among the Sanctified in Jesus Christ

  6. Paul’s Christian Witness Paul is Faithful to the Heavenly Vision • Declared to Jew & Gentile, • Repent (Change of Mind & Attitude) • “turn to God” away from Sin & works of Satan • “Prove their Repentance by their Deeds (live)” • Paul was Seized for this Message of Hope • By God’s Grace Paul continues to Witness “to small and great (Agrippa) alike” • Scriptural Message – Resurrection Central

  7. Festus & Agrippa Reject Gospel • Under Conviction Festus Rejects Message’ • "You are raving mad, Paul. Your great learning is turning you into a raving madman." • Paul tells Festus he is not “mad” but what he is says is “true and reasonable” (anointed) & that Agrippa is knowledgeable of these things & surely believes the words of the Prophets • Agrippa suddenly responds, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?" • Paul replied, "Short time or long — I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."

  8. Agrippa Acknowledges Paul’s Innocence Agrippa rose with Bernice & Festus indicating he had heard enough, • All agreed Paul had done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment; nothing in Roman law could hold him guilty. • Then Agrippa told Festus that Paul might have been set free "if he had not appealed to Caesar." • Nero is Emperor (AD 59) though had not started his campaign against Christians
