Acts 26:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ “I used to think that I should do everything I could against Jesus from Nazareth. ¹⁰ And that’s what I did, beginning in Jerusalem. The leading priests gave me the authority to put many of God’s people in jail. And when they were being killed, I agreed that it was a good thing. ¹¹ I visited all the synagogues and punished them, trying to make them curse^[a] Jesus. My anger against these people was so strong that I went to other cities to find them and punish them.
