Exegesis
The sequence kai pollous te ton hagion ego en phylakais katekleisa {καὶ πολλούς τε τῶν ἁγίων ἐγὼ ἐν φυλακαῖς κατέκλεισα | kaì polloús te tôn hagíōn egṓ en phylakaîs katékleisa} places pollous “many” before the genitive ton hagion “of the saints” for emphasis on the number, while the explicit ego highlights Paul’s personal responsibility. The main finite verb katekleisa gathers the preceding elements into the primary assertion: he imprisoned many holy ones.
In context — Acts 26:10
Which also I did in Jerusalem; and many of the saints I shut up in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were being put to death I cast my vote against them.
