Acts 26:14 The Hebrew language most likely refers to Aramaic (see esv footnote). To kick against the goads is a proverbial statement the Romans probably knew. It means that one cannot ultimately resist God’s will. Goads were sharp sticks used to prod oxen. If the oxen kicked in resistance, the drivers would keep them in line by poking them more severely.
Acts 26:20 A witness by Paul throughout all the region of Judea is not recorded elsewhere in Acts. It must have occurred right after his conversion when he was in Jerusalem (9:28; compare v. 31).
Acts 26:22–23 The inclusiveness of Paul’s witness was both social (small and great) and racial (our people and . . . the Gentiles). The suffering of Jesus was the fulfillment of OT prophets.
Acts 26:27 I know that you believe. Agrippa had a reputation as a faithful Jew.
Acts 26:28–29 In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian? Realizing that Paul was urging him to respond to the gospel, Agrippa put him off. Paul then responded to Agrippa using Agrippa’s own words: short or long, he wanted everyone to trust Christ. The translation of v. 28 is not easy, but most scholars favor something similar to that given in the esv.
