Paragraph 25:22

25:22a–b

I would like to hear this man myself: This clause in Greek is literally “I also was wanting to hear the man myself.” Agrippa had been wanting to hear Paul tell his story for some time. Translate in a way that indicates a polite desire to hear Paul. For example:

I have been wanting to hear this man myself. (Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English)
-or-
I should like to hear the man myself. (New Jerusalem Bible)
