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 at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I was carefully trained at the feet of Gamaliel in the Law of our forefathers, and, like all of you to-day, was zealous for God. 4 I persecuted to death this new faith, continually binding both men and women and throwing them into prison; 5 as the High Priest also and all the Elders can bear me witness. It was, too, from them that I received letters to the brethren in Damascus, and I was already on my way to Damascus, intending to bring those also who had fled there, in chains to Jerusalem, to be punished. 6 "But on my way, when I was now not far from Damascus, about noon a sudden blaze of light from Heaven shone round me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, "`Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' 8 "`Who art thou, Lord?' I asked. "`I am Jesus, the Nazarene,' He replied, `whom you are persecuting.' 9 "Now the men who were with me, though they saw the light, did not hear the words of Him who spoke to me. 10 And I asked, "`What am I to do, Lord?' "And the Lord said to me, "`Rise, and go into Damascus. There you shall be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.' 11 "And as I could not see because the light had been so dazzling, those who were with me had to lead me by the arm, and so I came to Damascus. 12 "And a certain Ananias, a pious man who obeyed the Law and bore a good character with all the Jews of the city,

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.
