Acts 8:3
Ver. 3. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church,.... Did evil to the saints, destroyed them that called upon the name of Christ, Ac 9:13 and persecuted and wasted the church of God, as he himself says, Gal 1:13 and now did Benjamin, of which tribe Saul was, ravine as a wolf, Ge 49:27
Entering into every house; where the saints dwelt:
and haling men and women: in a violent manner, without any regard to age or sex:
committed them to prison; delivered them up into the hands of the chief priests and magistrates, in order to be committed and sent to prison; this he himself confesses, Ac 22:4.
