“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.
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]}
You have heard about my past life. I was in the Jewish religion. I persecuted the church of God very much. I tried to destroy the church (believers).
I was circumcised eight days after my birth. I am from the people of Israel {\cf2\super [18]} and the family group of Benjamin. I am a Hebrew (Jew), and my parents were Hebrews. The law \{of Moses\} was very important to me. That is why I became a Pharisee. {\cf2\super [19]}
But you know all about me. You know what I teach and the way I live. You know my goal in life. You know my faith, my patience, and my love. You know that I never stop trying.
