And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

People's New Testament

22:4 I persecuted this way. He did this from his zeal towards God, whom he thought he thus served.

Unto the death. This seems to imply that Stephen was not the only martyr in whose death he was an accomplice.

Wesley's Notes

22:4 And persecuted this way - With the same zeal that you do now. Binding both men and women - How much better was his condition, now he was bound himself.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. I persecuted, &c.-(See on [2093]Ac 9:1,2; [2094]Ac 9:5-7).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:1-11 The apostle addressed the enraged multitude, in the customary style of respect and good-will. Paul relates the history of his early life very particularly; he notices that his conversion was wholly the act of God. Condemned sinners are struck blind by the power of darkness, and it is a lasting blindness, like that of the unbelieving Jews. Convinced sinners are struck blind as Paul was, not by darkness, but by light. They are for a time brought to be at a loss within themselves, but it is in order to their being enlightened. A simple relation of the Lord's dealings with us, in bringing us, from opposing, to profess and promote his gospel, when delivered in a right spirit and manner, will sometimes make more impression that laboured speeches, even though it amounts not to the full proof of the truth, such as was shown in the change wrought in the apostle.


Acts 8:3 But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison.
Acts 9:2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Acts 22:19 "And I said, 'Lord, they themselves understand that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in You.
Acts 26:9 "So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. (NASB ©1995)
