Acts 26
1 And Agrippa said to Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand and made his defence:
ⲁ̅ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defence this day before thee concerning all things of which I am accused by the Jews;
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲅⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲡⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ.
3 especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews. Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
4 My manner of life, then, from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem, all Jews know:
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲃⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 and they know, if they are willing to testify, that from the first, according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲁⲓⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲣϫ̅. ⲁⲛⲅⲟⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ.
6 And now I stand on trial for the hope of the promise made by God to the fathers,

7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God day and night, hope to obtain; concerning which hope, O king, I am accused by Jews.

8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God raiseth the dead?

9 I indeed thought with myself that I ought to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

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

11 And I punished them often in all the synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲇⲓⲙⲱⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓ̈ϭⲟⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲩ.
12 And as I was going to Damascus on this business, with authority and a commission from the chief priests,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
13 at mid-day, on the road, O king, I saw a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those who were journeying with me.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲁϥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲏ ⲁϥϣⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈.
14 And when we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈. ⲥⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉϯⲧⲃⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲣⲉ.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ.
16 But arise and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared to thee for this purpose, to prepare thee as a minister and a witness both of the things which thou sawest, and of those on account of which I will appear to thee;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲟϣⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

18 to open their eyes 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 the sanctified, by faith in me.

19 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ.
20 but first to those in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judaea, and then to the gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲩⲣⲏⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ.
21 For these causes the Jews seized me in the temple, and attempted to kill me.

22 Having, however, obtained help from God, I continue to this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing except those things which the Prophets and Moses said were to come to pass;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟϭ. ⲛ̅ϯϫⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ
23 that the Christ should suffer, and that, as first of those raised from the dead, he was to proclaim light both to the people and to the gentiles.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟ(ⲩ)ⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
24 And as he was thus speaking in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning is making thee mad.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲕⲗⲟⲃⲉ. ⲁⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲗⲉⲃⲧⲕ̅.
25 But he saith, I am not mad, most noble Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲗⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
26 For the king knoweth about these things well; to whom also I speak boldly; for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him: for this was not done in a corner.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓ(ⲁ)ⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲡⲓⲑⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲓ̈ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲫⲱⲡ.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the Prophets? I know that thou believest.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, With little effort thou thinkest to persuade me to become a Christian.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲕⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲓⲛⲟⲥ.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that with little effort or with great, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, might be made such as I am, except these bonds.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ. ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ.
30 And the king rose up and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them;

31 and going aside they talked with each other, saying, This man is doing nothing deserving death, or bonds.

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
