Acts 9:19-28

¹⁹and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.

²⁰Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”

²¹All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’ t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’ t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

²²But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

²³After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

²⁴but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.

²⁵One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.

²⁶When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁷Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.

²⁸So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
