44:021:038 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an
           uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men
           that were murderers?

44:021:039 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in
           Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city:  and, I beseech thee,
           suffer me to speak unto the people.

44:021:040 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs,
           and beckoned with the hand unto the people.  And when there was
           made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue,
           saying,

44:022:001 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make
           now unto you.

44:022:002 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to
           them, they kept the more silence:  and he saith,)

44:022:003 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.

44:022:004 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and
           delivering into prisons both men and women.

44:022:005 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the
           estate of the elders:  from whom also I received letters unto
           the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were
           there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

44:022:006 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
           nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from
           heaven a great light round about me.

44:022:007 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
           Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

44:022:008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord?  And he said unto me, I am
           Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

44:022:009 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were
           afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

44:022:010 And I said, What shall I do, lord?  And the Lord said unto me,
           Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee
           of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

44:022:011 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being
           led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into
           Damascus.

44:022:012 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a
           good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

44:022:013 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul,
           receive thy sight.  And the same hour I looked up upon him.
