When Paul, before Agrippa, received permission to speak for himself, he testified of how he had lived and how he had met Jesus. This defense was not so much words defending himself as a testimony of salvation that made clear how he had met the Lord. He did not use that opportunity to speak badly of those who had accused him, but made it known that he, too, had once been a person who opposed the name of Jesus. Paul, who preached the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and Saul, who persecuted that gospel, are not two different people. When we know the reason the same person changed so greatly, we turn around from believing in our own zeal and come to look to the Lord, who saved sinners.
