Ministry of Reconciliation The imprisoned Paul was brought be- fore Festus, the governor, in the ence of King Agrippa and his sister Bernice, to make his defense to the Jews' accusations that he was a pes- tilent agitator.--Acts 26:1-3.

As such, he had opposed the followers of them in the synagogues and helping put them to death.--Acts 26:4-11 Then he had seen a heavenly vision of the risen Christ, which had com- manded him to preach Christ so others might receive forgiveness of sins and be reconciled to God. For this the Jews seized him.--Acts 26:12-21. devout Jew, m, punishing wis Baptisms At Festus cried out that Paul's learning had made him mad, butAgrippa later declared to him and Bernice that Paul had been doing nothing to deserve death or prison.--Acts 26:24-31.

This is the "ministry of reconciliation." In the passage from Acts we see a superb example of this ministry, as the accused pris- oner preaches to and attempts to convert even the king before whom he is called upon to de- fend himself (Acts 26:28-29). This king is Herod Agrippa II, king of Chalcis, who is paying a complimentary visit to the new governor at Caesarea, Por- cius Festus, Festus succeeded Felix, under whom Paul had been imprisoned with some lib- erties until he should decide his case (Acts 23-24). This impris- onment had dragged on about three years, With Agrippa is Bernice, his sister Felix had been well ac- quainted with Jewish law, and 60 was Agrippa. Paul begins his defence before Festus and Agrippa by reminding them that he was previously a dedi- cated Jew of the strictest party, not Agrippa who declared Paul mad.
