³ But ^(A)Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he ^(B)dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.

^4 (A)I persecuted ^(B)this Way ^(C)to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women, ⁵ as ^(D)the high priest and ^(E)the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to ^(F)the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

^10 (A)And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority ^(B)from the chief priests, but ^(C)when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. ¹¹ And ^(D)I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them ^(E)blaspheme, and ^(F)in raging fury against them I ^(G)persecuted them even to foreign cities.
