Acts 26:30

Bernice

28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”

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.”

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.”
