Wherfore, I haue brought hym foorth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, O kyng Agrippa, that after examination had, I myght haue somewhat to write. 27 For me thynketh it vnreasonable, for to sende a prysoner, and not to shewe the causes which are laide agaynst him. 1 Then Agrippa sayde vnto Paul, thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe.
