At ' this preliminary hearing Paul.

he cannot hope for a fair trial in

transfer all further proceedings from

portunity to forward his prisoner, he

I Agrippa, and his sister UernlCe. Herod
I Agrippa II. was a Jew. His father.
Herod Agrippa I., in this very city of
Caesarea had died a tragic

' grandson of that Herod who had be

i great grandson of the Herod who
slew the children of Bethlehem*at the
"Mrtrth of ?hrlst. Therefore, he hailed
? with delfgnt the opportunity of seeing
and bearing the most brtlliant teach

produced. Accordingly a brilliant

? count for the jrprratle's earnestness in
no other way than on the ground of

sneeringly says. "With but little per
