Agrippa

Also known as: king Agrippa · Family: Herodian · Role: king · First appears: Acts 25

In Acts 25, after certain days, Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to salute Festus. After Festus declared Paul’s cause to him, Agrippa requested, “I would also hear the man myself.” On the morrow, he came with Bernice in great pomp to the place of hearing, where Paul was brought forth at Festus’ command.

In Acts 26, Agrippa heard Paul and said, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” When he and Festus had gone aside, they judged that Paul had done nothing worthy of death or bonds; Agrippa told Festus that Paul might have been set at liberty if he had not appealed unto Caesar. Afterward, Agrippa rose with Festus, Bernice, and those gathered with them.
