Acts 22:1-5
New Matthew Bible

And I was fervent-minded toward God, as you all are this same day. 4 And I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women, 5 as the chief priest bears me witness, and all the elders – from whom also I received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem, to be punished.
