²⁰ and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'

²⁰ The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

²¹ and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

³⁰ And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them,

³¹ and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another, saying -- `This man doth nothing worthy of death or of bonds;'

³² and Agrippa said to Festus, `This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.'

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

¹⁹ but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

²⁰ and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things --

¹⁴ and Paul being about to open `his' mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

⁴⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

⁴⁶ The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.'

⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁸ did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
