Paul's Defense Before Agrippa

⁹ _b "I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of _c Jesus of Nazareth. ¹⁰ _d And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority _e from the chief priests, but _f when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. ¹¹ And _g I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them _h blaspheme, and _i in raging fury against them I _j persecuted them even to foreign cities.
