Acts 9:23-31

23Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.

24But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;

25but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

26And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

27But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.

28And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,

29and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.

30And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

31The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
