3 ^y“I am a ^zJew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of ^aGamaliel¹ according to the ^bstrict manner of the law of our fathers, being ^czealous for God as all of you are this day.

2 For I bear them witness that they have a ^wzeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

14 And ^wI was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the ^xtraditions of my fathers.
