Acts 22:3 DBY

¹  Brethren and fathers, hear my defence which I now make to you.

²  And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says,

³  *I* am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to [the] exactness of the law of [our] fathers, being zealous for God, as *ye* are all this day;

⁴  who have persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women;

⁵  as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished.
