Acts 22:3-4

3Then Paul said, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, and I was brought up and educated here in Jerusalem under Gamaliel. As his student, I was carefully trained in our Jewish laws and customs. I became very zealous to honor God in everything I did, just like all of you today.

4And I persecuted the followers of the Way, hounding some to death, arresting both men and women and throwing them in prison.
