22 Therefore, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day[a] bearing-witness to both small and great, saying nothing outside of the things which both the Prophets and Moses spoke about things going to take place— 23 whether[b] the Christ is subject-to-suffering[c]; whether He first[d] from[e] a resurrection from the dead is going to proclaim light both to the [Jewish] people and to the Gentiles”.

Acts 26:22-24
New International Version
22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen(A)— 23 that the Messiah would suffer(B) and, as the first to rise from the dead,(C) would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”(D)
