Acts 26:10-12 ▼

10 That is what I did in Jerusalem. I received authority from the high priests and locked many of the saints in prison. And when I cast my vote against them, they were put to death.

11 I would even punish them frequently in every synagogue and try to make them blaspheme. Raging furiously against them, I would hunt them down even in distant cities.

12 |That is how I happened to be traveling to Damascus with authority based on a commission from the high priests.
