Expanded Bible

² When they heard him ·speaking [addressing them in] the Hebrew [or Aramaic; 21:40] language, they became ·very [even more] quiet. Paul said, ³ “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus [9:11] in the ·country [province] of Cilicia [6:9], but I ·grew up [was brought up; or was educated] in this city [^CJerusalem]. I was ·a student of [^Linstructed at the feet of; ^Cidiom indicating the role of a disciple] Gamaliel [^Ca famous teacher of the Pharisees; 5:34], who ·carefully [or strictly] taught me everything about the law of our ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers]. I was ·very serious about serving [^Lzealous/passionate for] God, just as are all of you here today. ⁴ I persecuted the people who followed ·the Way of Jesus [^Lthis Way; ^Canother name for the Christian movement; 9:2; 18:25; 19:23], ·and some of them were even killed [^Lup to the point of death; 7:60]. I ·arrested [^Lbound] men and women and put them in jail.
