Acts 22:3-5

New King James Version

^3 (A)“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city ^(B)at the feet of ^(C)Gamaliel, taught ^(D)according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and ^(E)was zealous toward God ^(F)as you all are today. ^4 (G)I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, ⁵ as also the high priest bears me witness, and ^(H)all the council of the elders, ^(I)from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus ^(J)to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.
