Acts 26:9-11

Moffatt(i) 9 I once believed it my duty indeed actively to oppose the name of Jesus the Nazarene. 10 I did so in Jerusalem. I shut up many of the saints in prison, armed with authority from the high priests; when they were put to death, I voted against them; 11 there was not a synagogue where I did not often punish them and force them to blaspheme; and in my frantic fury I persecuted them even to foreign towns.
