And Saul, G4569 yet G2089 breathing G1709 out threatenings G547 and slaughter G5408 against G1519 the disciples G3101 of the Lord, G2962 went G4334 to the high G749 priest, G749

And desired G154 of him letters G1992 to Damascus G1154 to the synagogues, G4864 that if G1437 he found G2147 any G5100 of this G3588 way, G3598 whether G5037 they were men G435 or G2532 women, G1135 he might bring G71 them bound G1210 to Jerusalem. G2419

And here G5602 he has G2192 authority G1849 from the chief G749 priests G749 to bind G1210 all G3956 that call G1941 on your name. G3686

Which G3739 thing I also G2532 did in Jerusalem: G2414 and many G4183 of the saints G40 did G4160 I shut G2623 up in prison, G5438 having received G2983 authority G1849 from the chief G749 priests; G749 and when they were put G337 to death, G337 I gave G2702 my voice G5586 against G2702 them.

Whereupon G1722 G3739 as I went G4198 to Damascus G1154 with authority G1849 and commission G2011 from the chief G749 priests, G749

And it came G1096 to pass on G1909 the morrow, G839 that their rulers, G758 and elders, G4245 and scribes, G1122

And when they heard G191 that, they entered G1525 into G1519 the temple G2411 early G3722 in the morning, and taught. G1321 But the high G749 priest G749 came, G3854 and they that were with him, and called G4779 the council G4892 together, G4779 and all G3956 the senate G1087 of the children G5207 of Israel, G2474 and sent G649 to the prison G1201 to have them brought. G71

And as soon as it was day, G2250 the elders G4244 of the people G2992 and the chief G749 priests G749 and the scribes G1122 came G4863 together, G4863 and led G321 him into G1519 their council, G4892 saying, G3004

Men, G435 brothers, G80 and fathers, G3962 hear G191 you my defense G627 which I make now G3568 to you.

For I could wish G2172 that myself G846 were accursed G331 from Christ G5547 for my brothers, G80 my kinsmen G4773 according G2596 to the flesh: G4561

Who G3748 are Israelites; G2475 to whom G3739 pertains the adoption, G5206 and the glory, G1391 and the covenants, G1242 and the giving G3548 of the law, G3548 and the service G2999 of God, and the promises; G1860
