Acts 26:9-11

YLT(i) 9 `I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved me many things to do, 10 which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them, 11 and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining them to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting them even unto strange cities.
