Acts 26:23 in Context — Acts 26
21 Voilà pourquoi les Juifs se sont saisis de moi dans le temple, et ont tâché de me faire périr.
22 Mais, grâce au secours de Dieu, j’ai subsisté jusqu’à ce jour, rendant témoignage devant les petits et les grands, sans m’écarter en rien de ce que les prophètes et Moïse ont déclaré devoir arriver,
23 savoir que le Christ souffrirait, et que, ressuscité le premier d’entre les morts, il annoncerait la lumière au peuple et aux nations.
24 Comme il parlait ainsi pour sa justification, Festus dit à haute voix: Tu es fou, Paul! Ton grand savoir te fait déraisonner.
25 Je ne suis point fou, très excellent Festus, répliqua Paul; ce sont, au contraire, des paroles de vérité et de bon sens que je prononce.
