Acts 22:1-3

1“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.” 2When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew,1 they became even more quiet.

Then Paul declared, 3“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.
