Acts 9:20-30

20And straightway in the synagoguesG4864 he proclaimedG2784 JesusG2424, that he isG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 21And all that heardG191 him wereG1510 amazed, and saidG3004, IsG1510 not this he that in JerusalemG2419 made havoc of them that called on this nameG3686? and he had comeG2064 hither for this intent, that he might bringG71 them boundG1210 before the chiefG749 priestsG749. 22But SaulG4569 increased the moreG3123 in strength, and confounded the JewsG2453 that dwelt at DamascusG1154, proving that this isG1510 the ChristG5547.

23And whenG5613 manyG2425 daysG2250 were fulfilled, the JewsG2453 took counsel togetherG4823 to kill him: 24but their plotG1917 became knownG1097 to SaulG4569. And they watchedG3906 the gatesG4439 alsoG2532 dayG2250 and nightG3571 that they might kill him: 25but his disciplesG3101 tookG2983 him by nightG3571, and let him downG5465 through the wallG5038, lowering him in a basketG4711.

26And when he wasG1510 come to JerusalemG2419, he assayed to joinG2853 himself to the disciplesG3101: and they wereG1510 all afraidG5399 of him, not believingG4100 that he wasG1510 a discipleG3101. 27But BarnabasG921 took him, and broughtG71 him to the apostlesG652, and declared unto them howG4459 he had seenG3708 the LordG2962 in the wayG3598, and that he had spokenG2980 to him, and howG4459 at DamascusG1154 he had preached boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 28And he wasG1510 with them goingG1607 in and goingG1607 out at JerusalemG2419, 29preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him. 30And when the brethren knewG1921 it, they broughtG2609 him downG2609 to Cæsarea, and sent him forthG1821 to TarsusG5019.
