ACTS 24:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:”
When the governor had nodded for him to speak, Paul replied: 'Knowing that for many years you have been judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense' — Paul begins with appropriate deference to Felix's experience and authority, echoing Tertullus's opening gambit. 'Cheerfully' (prothumos) suggests confidence, not arrogance.
