^{22 Ref} And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

^{23 Ref} That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.

^{24 Ref} And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

^{22 Ref} `Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,

^{23 Ref} that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.'

^{24 Ref} And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;'

^{22 Ref} Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

^{23 Ref} That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

^{24 Ref} And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
