Acts 26:27-29
New Catholic Bible
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets?[a] I know that you do.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a brief time you can persuade me to become a Christian?” 29 Paul responded, “Whether in a short time or longer, I pray to God that not only you but also all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”

- Acts 26:27 Do you believe the Prophets?: this question by Paul puts King Agrippa in a no-win situation. If he says “Yes,” Paul will insist that he recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of the Prophets. If he says “No,” he will earn the wrath of the devout Jews, who accept the Prophets as God’s spokespersons. So Agrippa skirts the question.
