3 especially because you are an expert in all 1customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 "So then, all Jews know 2my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
5 since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a 3Pharisee 4according to the strictest 5sect of our religion.
6 "And now I am standing trial 6for the hope of 7the promise made by God to our fathers;
7 the promise 8to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly * serve God night and day. And for this 9hope, O King, I am being 10accused by Jews.
8 "Why is it considered incredible among you people 11if God does raise the dead?
9 "So then, 12I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to 13the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 "And this is just what I 14did in Jerusalem; not only * did I lock up many of the saints in prisons, having 15received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being put to death I 16cast my vote against them.
11 "And 17as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being 18furiously enraged at them, I kept pursuing them 19even to foreign cities.
12 "While so engaged 20as I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
13 at midday *, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.
