Acts 26:9-11

 ““I used to think that I should do everything I could against Jesus from Nazareth. And that’s what I did, beginning in Jerusalem. 

The leading priests gave me the authority to put many of God’s people in jail. And when they were being killed, I agreed that it was a good thing. 

I visited all the synagogues and punished them, trying to make them curse Jesus. My anger against these people was so strong that I went to other cities to find them and punish them.”‬
