Study Note
Paul's testimony before Agrippa reaches its darkest self-portrait: he 'punished them oft in every synagogue, compelled them to blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, persecuted them even unto strange cities.' The Greek 'exceedingly mad' (emmainomenos) suggests a frenzied obsession, and 'compelled to blaspheme' implies coerced denial of Jesus's Lordship — the inverse of the confession Paul now makes everywhere he goes. This self-indictment is the sharpest form of Paul's 'chief of sinners' self-description (1 Timothy 1:15), and his subsequent transformation by the Damascus encounter provides the apologetic foundation for his claim that the resurrection of Jesus is the explanation of his own life.
