Acts 22:1-5

1“BrothersG435G80 andG2532 fathersG3962, listenG191 nowG3570 to myG1473 defenseG627 beforeG4314 youG4771.” 2When they heardG191 him speak toG4377 themG846 in HebrewG3588G1446G1258,1 they becameG3930 even moreG3123 quietG2271.

ThenG2532 Paul declaredG5346, 3“IG1473 amG1510 a JewG2453G435, bornG1080 inG1722 TarsusG5019 of CiliciaG2791, butG1161 raisedG397 inG1722 thisG3778 cityG4172. I was educatedG3811 atG3844 theG3588 feetG4228 of GamalielG1059 in strictG195 conformityG2596 to theG3588 lawG3551 of our fathersG3971. I wasG5225 just as zealousG2207 forG3588 GodG2316 asG2531 any ofG3956 youG4771 areG1510 todayG4594.

4I persecutedG1377 thisG3778 WayG3598 even to theG891 deathG2288, detainingG1195 bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135 andG2532 throwing themG3860 intoG1519 prisonG5438, 5asG5613 theG3588 high priestG749 andG2532 theG3588 wholeG3956 CouncilG4244 can testifyG3140 about meG1473. I even obtainedG2532G1209 lettersG1992 fromG3844 themG3739 toG4314 their brothersG80 inG1519 DamascusG1154, and I was on my wayG4198 to apprehendG1210 these people andG2532 bringG71 them toG1519 JerusalemG2419 toG2443 be punishedG5097.
