I am
verily a man which am a
Jew, born in
Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of
Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was
zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
“I am a
Jew, born in
Tarsus of
Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of
Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as
zealous for God as any of you here
today.
