Acts 26:9 YLT

⁷  to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;

⁸  why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?

⁹  'I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved 'me' many things to do,

¹⁰  which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,

¹¹  and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining 'them' to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting 'them' even unto strange cities.
