But Saul was trying to destroy<n id="1" /> the church; entering one house after another, he dragged off<n id="2" /> both men and women and put them in prison.<n id="3" />p>

and requested letters from him to the synagogues<n id="1" /> in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way,<n id="2" /> either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners<n id="3" /> to Jerusalem.<n id="4" />
