Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
Paul appeals to God's infinite power, not to our weak grasp of how it works. We do injury to God when we bind His arm to the limits of our own understanding; the resurrection surpasses human wit entirely, yet He who subdues all things will surely restore our bodies.
AI summary
Paul stood silent until given leave to speak, for the best speakers are not the most forward. Here Agrippa granted him what the Jews would scarcely allow: full liberty to answer for himself. His stretched hand showed no fear, only earnestness and command of himself; he needed no advocate, but only the chance to honour his cause by defending it plainly.

Commenting on Acts 26:1-11
Heathens and Sadducees alike dismissed resurrection as impossible, but this doctrine flows from God's omnipotence, justice, and truth. He knows every particle of a dead body and can reassemble and quicken it as readily as He formed all things from nothing.
