Acts 22:3-5 CEV
(3) I am a Jew, born and raised in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. I was a student of Gamaliel and was taught to follow every single law of our ancestors. In fact, I was just as eager to obey God as any of you are today. (4) I made trouble for everyone who followed the Lord's Way, and I even had some of them killed. I had others arrested and put in jail. I didn't care if they were men or women. (5) The high priest and all the council members can tell you that this is true. They even gave me letters to the Jewish leaders in Damascus, so that I could arrest people there and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

Acts 22:3-5 ALT
(3) "_I_ indeed am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but having been brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been educated according to the exactness of the ancestral Law, being a zealot for God, just as _you*_ all are today; (4) [I] who persecuted this Way to death, binding and handing over to prisons both men and women, (5) as also the high priest testifies to me, and all the council of the elders; from whom also having received letters to the brothers, I began traveling to Damascus to bring even the ones being there having been bound to Jerusalem, so that they should be punished.

Acts 22:3-5 BBE
(3) I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia by birth, but I had my education in this town at the feet of Gamaliel, being trained in the keeping of every detail of the law of our fathers; given up to the cause of God with all my heart, as you are today. (4) And I made attacks on this Way, even to death, taking men and women and putting them in prison. (5) Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
