Acts:9:20-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues ,
that he is the Son of God .
*
But all that heard him were amazed ,
and said ;
Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem ,
and came hither for that intent ,
that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests ?
*
But Saul increased the more in strength ,
and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus ,
proving that this is very Christ .
*
And after that many days were fulfilled ,
the Jews took counsel to kill him :
*
But their laying await was known of Saul .
And they watched the gates day and night to kill him .
*
Then the disciples took him by night ,
and let him down by the wall in a basket .
*
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem ,
he assayed to join himself to the disciples :
but they were all afraid of him ,
and believed not that he was a disciple .
*
But Barnabas took him ,
and brought him to the apostles ,
and declared unto 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 .
*
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem .
*
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus ,
and disputed against the Grecians :
but they went about to slay him .
