Acts 8:3 Douay-Rheims

But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

"As for Saul, he made havoc of the Church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison." Great was his frenzy: that he was alone, that he even entered into houses: for indeed he was ready to give his life for the Law. "Haling," it says, "men and women:" mark both the confidence, and the violence, and the frenzy. All that fell into his hands, he put to all manner of ill-treatment: for in consequence of the recent murder, he was become more daring.
