Wycliffe Bible
26 And when he came into Jerusalem, he assayed to join him(self) to the disciples[a]; and all dreaded him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took, and led him to the apostles, and told to them, how in the way he had seen the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he did trustily in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them, and entered, and went out in Jerusalem, and did trustily in the name of Jesus. [And he was with them, entering and going out in Jerusalem, doing trustily in the name of the Lord.]
29 And he spake with heathen men [And he spake to heathen men], and disputed with Greeks. And they sought to slay him.
30 Which thing when the brethren had known, they led him by night to Caesarea, and let him go to Tarsus.
