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 closelyG3906 watchingG3906 the gatesG4439 dayG2250 and nightG3571 soG3704 thatG3704 they might putG337 him to deathG337; 25but his disciplesG3101 tookG2983 him at nightG3571 and letG2524 him downG2524 throughG1223 an opening in the wallG5038, loweringG2524 G5465 him in a largeG4711 basketG4711.

26 5When he cameG3854 to JerusalemG2419, he triedG3985 repeatedly to associateG2853 with the disciplesG3101; and yet they wereG5399 allG3956 afraidG5399 of him, as they did not believeG4100 that he was a discipleG3101. 27But 6BarnabasG921 tookG1949 holdG1949 of him and broughtG71 him to the apostlesG652 and describedG1334 to them howG4459 he had 7seenG3708 the LordG2962 on the roadG3598, and that He had talkedG2980 to him, and howG4459 8he had 9spokenG3955 outG3955 boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 at DamascusG1154. 28And he was with them, 10movingG1531 G2532 G1607 aboutG1531 G2532 G1607 freelyG1531 G2532 G1607 in JerusalemG2419, 11speakingG3955 outG3955 boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 29And he was talkingG2980 and arguingG4802 with the 12 13HellenisticG1675 Jews; but they were attemptingG2021 to putG337 him toG337 deathG337. 30NowG1161 when 14the 15brothersG80 learnedG1921 of it, they broughtG2609 him downG2609 to 16CaesareaG2542 and 17sentG1821 him awayG1821 to 18TarsusG5019.

31SoG3767 19the churchG1577 throughoutG2596 G3650 JudeaG2449, GalileeG1056, and SamariaG4540 20enjoyedG2192 peaceG1515, as it was being builtG3618 up; and as it 21continuedG4198 in the fearG5401 of the LordG2962 and in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it kept increasingG4129.
