Acts 9:26-31

Saul in Jerusalem

26 And ¹when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

27 But ²Barnabas took him and ³brought him to the apostles and declared to them ⁴how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and ⁵how at Damascus he had ⁶preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

28 So he went ⁷in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.

29 And he spoke and disputed against ⁸the Hellenists.^[a] But ⁹they were seeking to kill him.

30 And when ¹⁰the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off ¹¹to Tarsus.

31 So ¹²the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And ¹³walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, ¹⁴it multiplied.
