Acts 9:23-31

23WhenG5613 1manyG2425 daysG2250 had elapsedG4137, 2the JewsG2453 plottedG4823 togetherG4823 to doG337 awayG337 with him, 24but 3their plotG1917 became knownG1097 to SaulG4569. 4They 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.

265When he cameG3854 to JerusalemG2419, he was tryingG3985 to associateG2853 with the disciplesG3101; 6but they were allG3956 afraidG5399 of him, not believingG4100 that he was a discipleG3101. 27But 7BarnabasG921 tookG1949 holdG1949 of him and broughtG71 him to the apostlesG652 and describedG1334 to them howG4459 he had 8seenG3708 the LordG2962 on the roadG3598, and that He had talkedG2980 to him, and howG4459 9at DamascusG1154 he had 10spokenG3955 out boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 28And he was with them, 11movingG1531G2532G1607 aboutG1531G2532G1607 freelyG1531G2532G1607 in JerusalemG2419, 12speakingG3955 out boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 29And he was talkingG2980 and arguingG4802 with the 1314HellenisticG1675 Jews; but they were attemptingG2021 to putG337 him to deathG337. 30But when 15the brethrenG80 learnedG1921 of it, they broughtG2609 him downG2609 to 16CaesareaG2542 and 17sentG1821 him awayG1821 to 18TarsusG5019.

31SoG3767 19the churchG1577 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudeaG2453 and GalileeG1056 and SamariaG4540 20enjoyedG2192 peaceG1515, being builtG3618 up; and goingG4198 on in the fearG5401 of the LordG2962 and in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it continued to increaseG4129.
