Paul Speaks to the People

22 Paul said, “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! I will make my defense to you.” When the Jews heard him speaking the Jewish language,[a] they became very quiet. Paul said, “I am a Jew. I was born in Tarsus in the country of Cilicia. I grew up in this city. I was a student of Gamaliel.[b] He carefully taught me everything about the law of our ancestors. I was very serious about serving God, just as are all of you here today.
