Coptic New Testament
1Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
1ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲥⲑⲉ ..
2“I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things the Jews accuse me of,

3especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

4“Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;

5having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

6Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

7which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

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

9“I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

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

11Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

13at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.

14When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

20but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
