Bede : Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe. This he speaks not in flattery, as some think, but truly. For Agrippa, as one versed in the rites and laws of the Jews, believed that the prophets spoke truth, but as a faithless man, he did not know to whom that truth referred, that is, the Lord Christ. Although it is recorded that in a certain council with the Jews, he said: But you rely on the help of religion, since the disciples of Jesus have already filled the Roman world, or do we think that this religion grows without God's will? — Commentary on Acts John Chrysostom : "King Agrippa," he says, "believest thou"-he does not say, the Resurrection, but-"the prophets?" Then he forestalls him, and says: "I know that thou believest." "In a little" (i.e. within a little,) "almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Paul did not understand what the phrase "in a little" meant: he thought it meant "with little cost or trouble", wherefore also he answers as to this: so unlearned was he. — Homily on Acts 52
