Acts 26:8-11

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Why is it considered incredible among you people ^(A)if God raises the dead?

⁹ “So ^(B)I thought to myself that I had to act in strong opposition to ^(C)the name of Jesus ^[a]of Nazareth. ¹⁰ And this is ^[b]just what I ^(D)did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the ^[c]saints in prisons, after ^(E)receiving authority from the chief priests, but I also ^(F)cast my vote against them when they were being put to death. ¹¹ And ^(G)as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and since I was ^(H)extremely enraged at them, I kept pursuing them ^(I)even to ^[d]foreign cities.
