THE MESSAGE
"At first I objected: ‘Who has better credentials? They all know how obsessed I was with hunting out those who believed in you, beating them up in the meeting places and throwing them in jail. And when your witness Stephen was murdered, I was right there, holding the coats of the murderers and cheering them on. And now they see me totally converted. What better qualification could I have?'

Contextual Overview
3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in the country of Cilicia. I grew up in this city. I was a student of Gamaliel, who carefully taught me everything about the law of our fathers. I was very serious about serving God, the same as all of you here today. 4 I persecuted the people who followed the Way. Some of them were killed because of me. I arrested men and women and put them in jail. 5 "The high priest and the whole council of older Jewish leaders can tell you that this is true. One time these leaders gave me some letters. The letters were to the Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there to arrest the followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment. 6 "But something happened to me on my way to Damascus. It was about noon when I came close to Damascus. Suddenly a bright light from heaven shined all around me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' 8 "I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?' The voice said, ‘I am Jesus from Nazareth, the one you are persecuting.' 9 The men who were with me did not understand the voice, but they saw the light. 10 "I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?' The Lord answered, ‘Get up and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that I have planned for you to do.' 11 I could not see, because the bright light had made me blind. So the men led me into Damascus. 12 "In Damascus a man named Ananias came to me. He was a man who was devoted to God and obeyed the Law of Moses. All the Jews who lived there respected him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I said, Lord, they know, that I imprisoned,.... Men and women, that made a profession of the Christian religion, Acts 8:3
and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee; in Jerusalem there were many synagogues, and in these scourging and beating of offenders were used; Acts 8:3- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And I said, Lord - This shows that it was the Lord Jesus whom Paul saw in a trance in the temple. The term âLordâ is usually applied to him in the Acts . See the notes on Acts 1:24.
They know - Christians know; and they will therefore be not likely to receive to their fellowship their former enemy and persecutor.
Beat in every synagogue - Beating, or scourging, was often done in the synagogue. See the notes on Matthew 10:17. Compare Acts 26:11. It was customary for those who were converted to Christianity still to meet with the Jews in their synagogues, and to join with them in their worship.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 22:19. I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue — This shows what an active instrument Saul of Tarsus was, in the hands of this persecuting priesthood, and how very generally the followers of Christ were persecuted, and how difficult it was at this time to profess Christianity.
