In context
7the promise our twelve tribes hope to see fulfilled as they worship with all earnestness night and day. It is for this hope, Your Majesty, that I am accused by Jews. 8Why should any of you find it incredible that God raises the dead? 9I myself was once convinced that I had to do everything I could against the name of Jesus the Nazarene. 10That is what I did in Jerusalem: with authority from the chief priests I locked up many of the saints in prison, and when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. 11Time and again, in one synagogue after another, I punished them and tried to force them to blaspheme; in my raging fury against them I hunted them even in foreign cities.
