Acts 22:2

2 When they heard him speaking to them in Hebrew, they settled down more; so he continued:

Acts 22:2 In-Context

1 "Brothers and fathers! Listen to me as I make my defense before you now!"
2 When they heard him speaking to them in Hebrew, they settled down more; so he continued:
3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city and trained at the feet of Gamli'el in every detail of the Torah of our forefathers. I was a zealot for God, as all of you are today.
4 I persecuted to death the followers of this Way, arresting both men and women and throwing them in prison.
5 The cohen hagadol and the whole Sanhedrin can also testify to this. Indeed, after receiving letters from them to their colleagues in Dammesek, I was on my way there in order to arrest the ones in that city too and bring them back to Yerushalayim for punishment.
