My living of a child / which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem §Bknow all the Jews which knew me from the beginning / if they would testify it. For after the most straitest sect of our lay / lived I a pharisee. And now I stand & am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: unto which promise / our .xii. tribes instantly serving God day & night / hope to come. For which hopes sake / king Agrippa / am I accused of the Jews. Why should it be thought a thing uncredible unto §Cyou / that god should raise again the deed?
My lyvynge of a chylde / which was at the fyrst amōge myne awne nacion at Ierusalem §Bknowe all the Iewes which knew me from ye beginnynge / yf they wolde testifie it. For after the most straytest secte of oure laye / lyved I a pharisaye. And now I stond & am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure fathers: vnto which promes / oure .xii. tribes instantly servynge God daye & nyght / hope to come. For which hopes sake / kynge Agrippa / am I accused of the Iewes. Why shuld it be thought a thinge vncredible vnto §Cyou / that god shuld rayse agayne the deed?
I also verily thought in my self / that I ought to do many contrary things / clean against the name of Jesus of Nazareth: which thing I also did in Jerusalem. Where many of the saints I shut up in prison / & had received authority of y• high priests. And when they were put to death / I give the sentence. And I punished them oft in every synagogue / and compelled them to blaspheme: & was yet more mad upon them / and persecuted them / ⟨p. Cxcviii⟩even unto strange cities. About the which things as I went to Damasco with authority and licence of the high Priests / even at midday (o king) I saw in the way a light from heaven / above the brightness of the sun / shine round about me and them which journeyed with me.
