22:1 Paul declares at large how he was converted to the faith,
Act_22:17. and called to his apostleship;
22:22 At the very mentioning of the Gentiles the people exclaim on him;
22:24 He would have been scourged;
22:25 but claiming the privilege of a Roman, he escapes.

and when all the particulars of his education, his previous religious principles, his zeal, his enmity against Christians, and his prospects of secular honours and preferments by persecuting them, are compared with the subsequent part of his life, and the sudden transition from a furious persecutor to a zealous preacher of the gospel, in which he laboured and suffered to the end of his life, and for which he died a martyr, it must convince every candid and impartial person that no rational account can be given of this change, except what he himself assigns; and consequently, if that be true, that Christianity is Divine.thatActs 9:3-5, 26:12 DamascusGenesis 14:15, 15:2; 2 Samuel 8:6 aboutActs 26:13; Isaiah 24:23; Matthew 17:2; Revelation 1:16ReciprocalLuke 2:9 - and they;
