The Art of the Insult According to Scripture

“But Paul replied, ‘I’m not out of my mind, most excellent Festus. On the contrary, I’m speaking words of truth and good judgment. … King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you believe.’

Then Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Are you going to persuade me to become a Christian so easily?’

‘I wish before God,’ replied Paul, ‘that whether easily or with difficulty, not only you but all who listen to me today might become as I am—except for these chains.’”
