Acts 26:9-11 ▼

9 In fact, I myself supposed it was necessary to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

10 I actually did this in Jerusalem, and I locked up many of the saints in prison, since I had received authority for that from the chief priests. When they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

11 In all the synagogues I often tried to make them blaspheme by punishing them. I even pursued them to foreign cities since I was greatly enraged at them.”
