Acts 26:10

Paul’s Testimony to Agrippa

9So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.10And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.11I frequently had them punished in the synagogues, and I tried to make them blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.
