Acts 9:20–30

Saul Preaches Christ

20 Immediately he preached 5the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, t“Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, uand confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

Saul Escapes Death

23 Now after many days were past, vthe Jews plotted to kill him. 24 wBut their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night and xlet him down through the wall in a large basket.

Saul at Jerusalem

26 And ywhen Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 zBut Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, aand how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 So bhe was with them at Jerusalem, coming in and going out. 29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the cHellenists, 6 dbut they attempted to kill him. 30 When the brethren found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him out to Tarsus.
