Acts 26:3

"especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore. beseech thee to hear me patiently"Thou art expert" '"As thou art well versed"(Rhm). "Thoroughly acquainted" (Ber). "Like his Uncle Herod, Agrippa II was in control of the temple treasury and the vestments of the high priest. The Romans would consult him on religious matters" (Zond. Ency. p. 144). "Agrippa not only professed the Jewish religion, but also had been given certain administrative functions in connection with the temple and priesthood" (Reese p. 873). "Customs" That is, Jewish practices. "Questions" Such as the precise subjects of debate that existed between such parties as the Pharisees and Sadducees. "So expert in the customs and problems of the Jewish religion. He, at least, might appreciate the strength of Paul's argument that the message which he proclaimed was the proper consummation of Israel's ancestral faith" (Bruce p. 488). "Wherefore. beseech thee to hear me patiently" Indicating that his presentation would be somewhat lengthy. Note that Paul felt that Agrippa would have no problem in following this presentation.
