Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 22:4

"and I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women." — Acts 22:4 (ASV)

And I persecuted this way.—The speaker obviously uses the current colloquial term (see Notes on Acts 9:2; Acts 19:23), used by the disciples as indicating that they had found in Christ the way of eternal life; used, it may be, by others with a certain tone of scorn, as though describing people who had chosen their own way and must be left to take it.
