1 Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you. 2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd) 3 I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, & instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4 And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women. 5 As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, & al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished.
