*
When he arrived in Jerusalem ,
he tried to join the disciples ,
but they all were afraid of him because they wouldn '
t believe he was a disciple .
*
Barnabas ,
however ,
took him and presented him to the apostles ,
telling them how on the road he had seen the Lord ,
who had spoken to him ,
and how courageously he had spoken in the name of Jesus in Damascus .
*
So he went in and out among them in Jerusalem ,
speaking courageously in the name of the Lord .
*
He kept talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews ,
but they were bent on murdering him .
*
When the brothers found out about it ,
they took him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus .
*
So the church throughout Judea ,
Galilee ,
and Samaria enjoyed peace .
As it continued to be built up and to live in the fear of the Lord ,
it kept increasing in numbers through the encouragement of the Holy Spirit .
