Context of Acts 26:10
8Why is it judged incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? 9“In fact, I myself thought it was necessary to do many things in opposition to the name of Yeshua ha-Natzrati. And that is what I did in Jerusalem. Not only did I lock up many of the kedoshim in prisons by the authority I received from the ruling kohanim, but I cast my vote against them when they were being condemned to death. 11I tried to cause them to blaspheme by punishing them often in the synagogues. In furious rage against them, I persecuted them even in foreign cities. 12“While journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the ruling kohanim,

Commentaries on Acts 26:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Many of the saints - From what is said in this verse, it seems that Paul, before his conversion, was invested with much power: he imprisoned the Christians; punished many in various synagogues; compelled them to blaspheme - to renounce, and, perhaps, to execrate Christ, in order to save their lives; and gave his voice, exerted all his influence and authority, against them, in order that they might be put to death; and from this it would seem that there…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Which thing I also did - Acts 8:3. And many of the saints - Many Christians, Acts 8:3. And when they were put to death - In the history of those transactions, there is no account of any Christian being put to death except Stephen, Acts 22:20.
