\v 9 There was a time in the past when I, too, was sure that I should do everything that I could to stop people from believing in Jesus from Nazareth town.
\v 10 So that is what I did when I lived in Jerusalem. I shut up many of the believers in prison, as the chief priests there had given me power to do. And when their people killed believers, I voted in favor of that.

I was so angry with them because they followed Jesus as the Christ, that I would force them, using all my might, so they would insult God and to curse his name. When they cursed God, they could be put to death. My anger toward them was so strong that I wanted them to be tried and condemned to death when they appeared before the Jewish courts. I always cast my vote in favor of their execution. I even went off to foreign cities to find them so I could arrest them, bring them back to Jerusalem, and then punish them. I wanted them to be killed.

\v 30 Then the king stood. The governor, Bernice, and all the others also got up
\v 31 and left the room. After they left, they said to each other, "This man has done nothing deserving death or his chains."
\v 32 Agrippa said to Festus, "If this man had not asked that the Emperor judge him, he could have been released."
