# Connecting Statement:
While talking to King Agrippa, Paul tells about when the Lord spoke with him.
# While I was doing this
Paul uses this phrase to mark another shift in his defense. He is now telling about when he saw Jesus and became his disciple.
# While
This word is used to mark two events that are happening at the same time. In this case, Paul went to Damascus during the time when he persecuted Christians.
# with authority and orders
Paul had letters from the Jewish leaders granting him authority to persecute the Jewish believers.
