Acts 9:20-30

20

Saul promptly began to proclaimG2112G2784 JesusG2424 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864, declaring, “HeG3778 isG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

21

AllG3956 whoG3588 heardG191 him were astoundedG1839 andG2532 askedG2036, “Isn’tG1510G3756 thisG3778 theG3588 man who wreaked havocG4199 inG1519 JerusalemG2419 on thoseG3588 who call onG1941 thisG3778 nameG3686? AndG2532 hasn’t he comeG2064 hereG5602 toG2443 takeG71 themG846 as prisonersG1210 toG1909 theG3588 chief priestsG749?”

22ButG1161 SaulG4569 was empoweredG1743 all the moreG3123, andG2532 he confoundedG4797 theG3588 JewsG2453 livingG2730 inG1722 DamascusG1154 by provingG4822 thatG3754 Jesus isG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547.

AfterG5613 manyG2425 daysG2250 had passedG4137, theG3588 JewsG2453 conspiredG4823 to killG337 himG846, 24butG1161 SaulG4569 learned ofG1097 theirG846 plotG1917. DayG2250 andG5037 nightG3571 they watchedG2532G3906 theG3588 city gatesG4439 in orderG3704 to killG337 himG846. 25One nightG3571, howeverG1161, hisG846 disciplesG3101 tookG2983 him and loweredG5465 him inG1722 a basketG4711 throughG1223 a window in theG3588 wallG5038.1

26When Saul arrivedG3854 inG1519 JerusalemG2419, he triedG3985 to joinG2853 theG3588 disciplesG3101, but they were all afraid ofG3956G5399 himG846, notG3361 believingG4100 thatG3754 he wasG1510 a discipleG3101. 27ThenG1161 BarnabasG921 broughtG1949G846G71 him toG4314 theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 describedG1334G846 howG4459 Saul had seenG3708 theG3588 LordG2962, who had spokenG2980 to himG846 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598 to Damascus, andG2532 howG4459 Saul had spoken boldlyG3955 inG1722 that city inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424.

28So Saul stayedG1510 withG3326 themG846, moving about freelyG1531G2532G1607 inG1519 JerusalemG2419 and speaking boldlyG3955 inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 LordG2962. 29He talkedG2980 andG2532 debatedG4802 withG4314 theG3588 Grecian JewsG1675,2 butG1161 they triedG2021 to killG337 himG846. 30When theG3588 brothersG80 learned ofG1921 this, they took him downG2609G846 toG1519 CaesareaG2542 andG2532 sent him offG1821G846 toG1519 TarsusG5019.
