< Acts 26 >
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:
ⲁ̅ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today to defend myself against all the accusations of the Jews,
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲅⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲁⲓⲟⲡⲧ ⲙⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲛⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ
3 especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. I beg you, therefore, to listen to me patiently.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣϩⲏⲧ
4 Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲃⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
5 They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the strictest sect of our religion.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲱⲛϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲁϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲣϫ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
6 And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲉⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
7 the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to realize as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the Jews.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲙⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲩϣⲙϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲉⲅⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
8 Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ϥⲟ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
9 So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲓⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲁⲓⲁⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ
10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲁⲓⲁⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲁⲓⲛⲉϫ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉⲁⲓϫⲓ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓϯⲡⲍⲏⲫⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟⲟⲩ
11 I frequently had them punished in the synagogues, and I tried to make them blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲓⲙⲱⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲓⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓϭⲟⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲩ
12 In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ
13 About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲣⲣⲟ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲁϥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲏⲁϥϣⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ
14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲥⲙⲟⲕϩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉϯⲧⲃⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲣⲉ
15 ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲛⲓⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲱϥ
16 ‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲟϣⲕ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them

18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲉⲕⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
19 So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ
20 First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to everyone in the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds worthy of their repentance.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲕⲩⲣⲏⲥⲥⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲛ ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϭⲟⲡⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲧⲃⲉⲧ
22 But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲓⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛϯϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ
23 that the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲁϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
24 At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲕⲗⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲗⲉⲃⲧⲕ
25 But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛϯⲗⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲓ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
26 For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲕⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲓⲛⲟⲥ
29 “Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲣⲣⲉ
30 Then the king and the governor rose, along with Bernice and those seated with them.

31 On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
