Acts 22:4

I persecuted this way. He did this from his zeal towards God, whom he thought he thus served.

Unto the death. This seems to imply that Stephen was not the only martyr in whose death he was an accomplice.

Acts 26:10

I gave my voice against [them]. "My vote" (Revised Version). This has been held to indicate that he was a member of the Sanhedrin. This would hardly be doubted were it not that tradition declares that the members of the Sanhedrin had to be married and fathers of a family. Hence, some have held that Paul was a member of some lesser court appointed by the Sanhedrin to try the Christians.
