20 but to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem and all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed [that they should] repent and turn to God, doing deeds worthy of repentance.

21 On account of these [things] the Jews seized me in the temple [courts] [and] were attempting to kill [me].
