Acts 21:40-22:3
New International Version
Acts 21:40-22:3
New International Version
40 After receiving the commander’s permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned(A) to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic[a]:(B) 22 1 “Brothers and fathers,(C) listen now to my defense.”
2 When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic,(D) they became very quiet.
Then Paul said: 3 “I am a Jew,(E) born in Tarsus(F) of Cilicia,(G) but brought up in this city. I studied under(H) Gamaliel(I) and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors.(J) I was just as zealous(K) for God as any of you are today.

40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
22 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
