1 А Агрипа рече Павлу: Допушта ти се да говориш сам за се. Онда Павле пруживши руку одговараше:
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
2 За срећу своју држим, царе Агрипа, што се данас пред тобом одговарам за све што ме потворају Јевреји,
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things the Jews accuse me of,
3 а највише што знам да ти познајеш све јеврејске обичаје и препирања. Зато те молим да ме послушаш милостиво.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4 Моје дакле живљење од младости, које је испрва било међу народом мојим у Јерусалиму, знаду сви Јевреји.
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
5 Како ме знаду испрва, ако хоће посведочити, да по познатој јереси наше вере живех фарисејски.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 И сад стојим пред судом за надање обећања које Бог обрече очевима нашим,
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
7 коме се сви дванаест колена наших једнако дан и ноћ служећи надају да ће доћи. За ово надање оптужен сам, царе Агрипа, од Јевреја.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
8 Шта? Зар ви мислите да се не може веровати да Бог мртве подиже?
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
9 Тако и ја мишљах да ми ваља многа зла чинити против имена Исуса Назарећанина,
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 као што и учиних у Јерусалиму; и многе од светих ја затварах у тамнице, примивши власт од главара свештеничких; и кад их убијаху, пристајах на суд.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
11 И по свим зборницама мучећи их често, нагоњах да хуле на Исуса; и одвише мрзећи на њих гоњах их тја и до туђих градова.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
12 За које идући у Дамаск с влашћу и заповешћу од главара свештеничких,
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 у подне, царе, видех на путу с неба светлост већу од сијања сунчаног, која обасја мене и оне што иђаху са мном.
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
14 А кад ми сви падосмо на земљу, чух глас где говори мени и казује јеврејским језиком: Савле! Савле! Зашто ме гониш? Тешко ти је противу бодила праћати се.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 А ја рекох: Ко си Ти, Господе? А Он рече: Ја сам Исус, ког ти гониш;
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
16 него устани и стани на ноге своје; јер ти се зато јавих да те учиним слугом и сведоком овоме што си видео и што ћу ти показати,
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
17 избављајући те од народа јеврејског и од незнабожаца, којима ћу те послати,
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
18 да им отвориш очи да се обрате од таме к виделу и од области сотонине к Богу, да приме опроштење греха и достојање међу освећенима вером мојом.
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
19 Зато, царе Агрипа! Не бих непокоран небеској утвари;
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
20 него најпре онима који су у Дамаску и у Јерусалиму, потом и по свој земљи јеврејској, и незнабошцима проповедах да се покају, и да се обрате к Богу чинећи дела достојна покајања.
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21 Зато ме Јевреји ухватише у цркви и хтеше да ме раскину.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
22 Али добивши помоћ Божју стојим до самог овог дана, и сведочим и малом и великом, не казујући ништа осим што пророци казаше да ће бити, и Мојсије:
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
23 Да ће Христос пострадати, и да ће бити први из васкрсења мртвих и проповедати видело народу јеврејском и незнабошцима.
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
24 А кад он ово одговараше, рече Фист великим гласом: Зар лудујеш, Павле? Многе те књиге изводе из памети.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
25 А он рече: Не лудујем, честити Фисте, него речи истине и разума казујем.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
26 Јер за ово зна цар, коме и говорим слободно; јер не верујем да му је шта од овог непознато; јер ово није било у углу.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
27 Верујеш ли, царе Агрипа, пророцима? Знам да верујеш.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
28 А Агрипа рече Павлу: Још мало па ћеш ме наговорити да будем хришћанин.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
29 А Павле рече: Молио бих Бога и за мало и за много да би не само ти него и сви који ме слушају данас били такви као и ја што сам, осим окова ових.
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
30 И кад он ово рече, уста цар и судија и Верникија, и који сеђаху с њима,
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
31 и отишавши разговараху се међу собом говорећи: Овај човек није учинио ништа што заслужује смрт или окове.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
32 А Агрипа рече Фисту: Овај човек могаше бити пуштен да не рече да хоће к ћесару. И тако судија намисли да га пошаље к ћесару.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
See how again also they pass sentence in his favor, and after having said, "Thou art beside thyself," (v. 24) they acquit him, as undeserving not only of death, but also of bonds, and indeed would have released him entirely, if he had not appealed to Cæsar. But this was done providentially, that he should also depart with bonds.
