Acts 9:22-32

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²³And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.

²⁴But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

²⁵Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

²⁶And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

²⁹And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

³⁰Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³¹Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters , he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
