Acts 26:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ `I used to think that I must do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

¹⁰ I did this in Jerusalem. The chief priests gave me power. I put many of God's people in prison. And when they were killed, I agreed to it.

¹¹ Often I punished them in all the meeting places. I tried to make them say wrong things about Christ. I was very, very angry. I even went to other cities to trouble them.'
