Acts 26:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ This is why the Jews ·took [seized] me and were trying to kill me in the Temple [^Ccourts; 2:46]. ²² But God has helped me [from that day until now; ^Luntil this day], and so I stand here today, ·telling [testifying/witnessing to] all people, small and great, what I have seen. But I am saying only what the prophets and Moses [^Cmeaning the whole OT] said would happen— ²³ that the ·Christ [Messiah; ^Cthe promised king and Savior] would ·die [^Lsuffer; 3:17; 17:3], and as the first to rise from the dead, he would ·bring [^Lproclaim] light to his own people [^Cthe Jews] and to ·the Gentiles [the nations; people everywhere].”
