Acts 22:3 Context
1Men, brethren, and fathers, heare ye my defence which I make now vnto you. 2(And when they heard that hee spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) 3I am verely a man which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus a citie in Cilicia, yet brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect maner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous towards God, as ye all are this day. 4And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prisons both men and women, 5As also the high Priest doth beare me witnesse, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, for to be punished.
