Acts 9:19-26
19and he tookG2983 foodG5160 and was strengthenedG1765.
NowG1161 1for severalG5100 daysG2250 he was with 2the disciplesG3101 who were at DamascusG1154, 20and immediatelyG2112 he began to proclaimG2784 JesusG2424 3in the synagoguesG4864, 4sayingG3754, “He is 5the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 21AllG3956 thoseG3588 hearingG191 him continued to be amazedG1839, and were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 not he who in JerusalemG2419 6destroyedG4199 thoseG3588 who 7calledG1941 on thisG3778 nameG3686, and who had comeG2064 hereG5602 for the purpose of bringingG71 them boundG1210 beforeG1909 the chiefG749 priestsG749?” 22But SaulG4569 kept increasingG1743 in strengthG1743 and confoundingG4797 the JewsG2453 who livedG2730 at DamascusG1154 by provingG4822 that thisG3778 Jesus is the 8ChristG5547.
23WhenG5613 9manyG2425 daysG2250 had elapsedG4137, 10the JewsG2453 plottedG4823 togetherG4823 to doG337 awayG337 with him, 24but 11their plotG1917 became knownG1097 to SaulG4569. 12They were alsoG2532 watchingG3906 the gatesG4439 dayG2250 and nightG3571 soG3704 that they might putG337 him to deathG337; 25but his disciplesG3101 tookG2983 him by nightG3571 and letG2524 him downG2524 throughG1223 an opening in the wallG5038, loweringG2524G5465 him in a largeG4711 basketG4711.
2613When he cameG3854 to JerusalemG2419, he was tryingG3985 to associateG2853 with the disciplesG3101; 14but they were allG3956 afraidG5399 of him, not believingG4100 that he was a discipleG3101.
