Paul defends himself before King Agrippa, recounting his experience on the road to Damascus where Jesus appeared to him and called him to spread the message of salvation to both Jews and Gentiles. Paul was once a persecutor of Christians but was converted after his vision of Jesus, and has since preached repentance and faith in Christ. King Agrippa acknowledges that Paul's testimony seems reasonable, though he questions whether such a short time is enough to persuade him to become a Christian.
