Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
