Hechos 26:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:4

My manner of life, from my youth
That is, his conduct and deportment, his behaviour among men, from the time that he was capable of performing religious exercises, and of knowing the difference between one sect and another, and of being observed and taken notice of by men:

which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem;
for though he was born in Tarsus in Cilicia, he was very early brought, or sent by his parents to Jerusalem, where he had his education under Gamaliel; so that the first part of his life was spent in Jerusalem, the metropolis of Judea, and among the Jews there; the more learned and knowing part of them, Gamaliel's pupils, and the wise men and their disciples: and his course of life must be well known to them, as he says,

this know all the Jews;
that had any knowledge of him, and conversation with him.

Hechos 26:4 In-Context

2 «Me considero afortunado, rey Agripa, de que sea usted quien oye hoy mi defensa en contra de todas estas acusaciones que han hecho los líderes judíos,

3 porque sé que usted es un experto en costumbres y controversias judías. Ahora, por favor, escúcheme con paciencia.

4 »Como bien saben los líderes judíos, desde mi temprana infancia recibí una completa capacitación judía entre mi propia gente y también en Jerusalén.

5 Ellos saben, si quisieran admitirlo, que he sido miembro de los fariseos, la secta más estricta de nuestra religión.

6 Ahora se me juzga por la esperanza en el cumplimiento de la promesa que Dios les hizo a nuestros antepasados.
