CHAP. XXII.
1 MEN, Brethren and fathers, hear mine excuse which I make now before you. 2 And when they heard that he spake to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence. And he said, 3 I truly am a man a Jew, borne in Tarsus a city of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the Law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God as ye all are this day: 4 And I persecuted this way unto death, binding & delivering into prison both men and women: 5 As the chief priest doth bear me witness, and all the order of Elders. Of whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there, bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished.
