Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Acts 26 - Introduction

Paul, in the presence of Agrippa, declareth his life from his childhood, and how miraculously he was converted, and called to his apostleship. Festus chargeth him with madness, whereunto, he answereth modestly. Agrippa is almost persuaded to be a Christian. The whole company pronounce him innocent.

Anno Domini 63.
