Acts 26:3

especially since you are so well acquainted with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore, I ask you to listen to me patiently.
[As in his interrogation with Tertullus in Acts 24:10, Paul begins his speech with a captatio benevolentiae, a few flattering words, but it is truthful without exaggeration.]
