📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul is defending himself before a crowd in Jerusalem after being arrested, and he's recounting his life before his conversion to Christianity. As a zealous Pharisee named Saul, he had been authorized by the high priest and the Jewish elders to persecute followers of Jesus, receiving letters that gave him the power to arrest Christians in places like Damascus and bring them back to Jerusalem for trial and punishment. This reflects the early church's struggles with intense opposition from Jewish authorities who saw Christianity as a threat to their traditions.
