In chapter 26, Paul's speech is stated carefully and stylistically; it is appropriate for his audience. This speech is similar to Paul's speech before the Jewish mob (22:1-21). Within this life summary, two themes dominate. First, Paul magnifies the cross and the resurrection (26:6-8, 22-23). Second, Paul insists that this new faith is actually an extension, or fulfillment of the Old Covenant—the Covenant of Grace. While Paul addresses a largely Gentile assembly and alludes to a number of witnesses present, the speech is more for Agrippa's benefit than anyone else's. Paul tries to persuade King Agrippa to bow before King Jesus. Paul is a man with a commission. He is not pouting, complaining, or trying to negotiate a deal in from of this ruler. He is preaching the gospel to him.
