Acts 26:1

ACTS CHAPTER 26 Acts 26:1 Paul, in the presence of Agrippa, declareth his life from his childhood, his wonderful conversion, and call to the apostleship, and his preaching of Christ according to the scripture doctrine. Acts 26:24 Festus chargeth him with madness: his modest reply, and address to Agrippa, who confesseth himself almost a Christian. Acts 26:30 The whole company pronounce him innocent. This stretching forth of his hand was:

1. To obtain silence of others whilst he spake; or:

2. To show his innocence, whilst he uses this modest confidence; or:

3. As other orators, when they begin to speak, move their hands. The providence of God wonderfully procures Paul a liberty to publish the gospel, and to make his case and religion known.
