What it points to
Festus shows that the gospel sounds like madness to worldly ears — but Paul's calm response demonstrates that truth needs no defense, only proclamation.
Verse · King James Version
“And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.”
Acts 26:24-25
