King Agrippa was the great-grandson of king Herod. He dabbled enough in both Greek & Jewish lore to prompt Paul to actually compliment him as an expert in Jewish customs, history, and Scriptures. But when asked by Paul if he believed the prophesies of the Old Testament Writers, Agrippa was in a pickle. If he said no, he’d anger the Jews…if he said yes, he’d lose face because Paul would then urge him to acknowledge that Jesus really was the long-awaited Messiah that all those prophets had testified about. So instead, Agrippa stalled, arguing that a brief speech from Paul wasn’t sufficient evidence to cause him to repent. But Paul pressed on, including all those in the court listening as possible converts to the Way…relentlessly planting seed.
