Acts 9:20-29

20and immediatelyG2112 he began to proclaimG2784 JesusG2424 1in the synagoguesG4864, 2sayingG3754, “He is 3the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 21AllG3956 thoseG3588 hearingG191 him continued to be amazedG1839, and were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 not he who in JerusalemG2419 4destroyedG4199 thoseG3588 who 5calledG1941 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 6ChristG5547.

23WhenG5613 7manyG2425 daysG2250 had elapsedG4137, 8the JewsG2453 plottedG4823 togetherG4823 to doG337 awayG337 with him, 24but 9their plotG1917 became knownG1097 to SaulG4569. 10They 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, loweringG2524 G5465 him in a largeG4711 basketG4711.

26 11When he cameG3854 to JerusalemG2419, he was tryingG3985 to associateG2853 with the disciplesG3101; 12but they were allG3956 afraidG5399 of him, not believingG4100 that he was a discipleG3101. 27But 13BarnabasG921 tookG1949 holdG1949 of him and broughtG71 him to the apostlesG652 and describedG1334 to them howG4459 he had 14seenG3708 the LordG2962 on the roadG3598, and that He had talkedG2980 to him, and howG4459 15at DamascusG1154 he had 16spokenG3955 out boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 28And he was with them, 17movingG1531 G2532 G1607 aboutG1531 G2532 G1607 freelyG1531 G2532 G1607 in JerusalemG2419, 18speakingG3955 out boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 29And he was talkingG2980 and arguingG4802 with the 19 20HellenisticG1675 Jews; but they were attemptingG2021 to putG337 him to deathG337.
