“I am a Jew. I was born in Tarsus in the country of Cilicia. I grew up in this city (Jerusalem). I was a student of Gamaliel. {\cf2\super [434]} He carefully taught me everything about the law of our fathers. {\cf2\super [435]} I was very serious about serving God, the same as all of you here today.
The high priest {\cf2\super [437]} and the whole council of older Jewish leaders can tell you that this is true! One time these leaders gave me some letters. The letters were to the Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there to arrest the followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.
But I will tell you this: I worship the God of our fathers {\cf2\super [467]} as a follower of the Way \{of Jesus\}. The Jews say that the Way \{of Jesus\} is not the right way. But I believe everything that is taught in the law \{of Moses\}. And I believe everything that is written in the books of the prophets. {\cf2\super [468]}
