Acts 26:24

Verse 24. It is not surprising that Festus should have taken Saint Paul for a madman. The resurrection of the dead, remission of sins, receiving baptism, and faith, announcing light to the nations, and so forth were subjects completely unintelligible to a Roman. To a Jew the terms were customary and common. The eloquence and manner in which he spoke on these subjects, might shew him to be a man of great learning.
