Acts 9:20-30

21st Century King James Version

²⁰ And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

²¹ But all that heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this he that destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither with the intent that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?”

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

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

²⁴ But their lying in wait became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁰ And when the brethren heard of this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him forth to Tarsus.
