¹⁵ I have a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection,^[a](A) both of the righteous and the unrighteous.^(B)

²¹ other than this one statement I shouted while standing among them, ‘Today I am on trial before you concerning the resurrection of the dead.’”

⁶ And now I stand on trial because of the hope^(A) in what God promised^(B) to our ancestors, ⁷ the promise our twelve tribes hope to reach as they earnestly serve him night and day. King Agrippa, I am being accused by the Jews because of this hope.^{(C) 8} Why do any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

²⁰ For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”^(A)
