In a short time would you persuade me and make me a Christian?
Agrippa asks this question to show Paul that he cannot convince Agrippa so easily without more proof. This can be expressed as a statement. AT: "Surely you do not think you can convince me so easily to believe in Jesus!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
