The defense in the Hebrew language: born in Tarsus, brought up at the feet of Gamaliel; “I persecuted this Way”
히브리 방언으로 한 변명: 다소에서 나서 가말리엘의 문하에서 교훈을 받고 이 도를 핍박함
Acts 22:1–5: he says, “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.” When they hear that he speaks to them in the Hebrew language, they are even more quiet. He says, “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today. I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.”
