Acts 26:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible
22 But God has helped me every day, even until today. So now I stand here and I can tell you what is true. I say the same thing to people who are very important and to people who are not important. I am telling you the same things that Moses and God's other prophets wrote about. They also said that these things would happen. 23 They said that God's special Messiah would have much pain and he would die. But God would raise him up to be alive again. He would be the first dead person to become alive and not die again. In that way, he would show God's message and bring light to people. He would save both Jewish people and Gentiles. That is what the prophets and Moses wrote. And I say the same thing.’
24 While Paul was still speaking to Agrippa, Festus shouted at him, ‘Paul, your mind is confused! You have learned many things. But all these things are making you crazy.’

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)
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(E) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(F) is driving you insane.”
