9 In fact, I myself supposed it was necessary to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.(A) 10 I actually did this in Jerusalem, and I locked up many of the saints in prison, since I had received authority for that from the chief priests. When they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.(B) 11 In all the synagogues I often tried to make them blaspheme by punishing them.(C) I even pursued them to foreign cities since I was greatly enraged at them.
