Acts 22:1

"Brothers [listeners] and fathers [a respectful title for the elders of the Sanhedrin]! Listen now to what I have to say in my defense (my arguments)."
[Paul opens his speech in the same way as Stephen did, see Acts 7:2. Paul is clear about his Jewish roots. The word for defense is the Greek apologia, from which the word apology derives. This is the second of three detailed accounts of Paul's conversion in the Acts of the Apostles. The first is recounted by Luke, see Acts 9:1–30, while this one and the third, in Acts 26:4–23, are Paul's own accounts. They are similar but with a few minor differences. Here he addresses Jews and emphasizes the role of Ananias, a jew believer in the Messiah, in his conversion. In the next defense speech, which is addressed to Agrippa and the Romans, it is not as important, and Ananias is not even mentioned.]
