¹¹ And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man ^(A)of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,

³⁰ And when ^(A)the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off ^(B)to Tarsus.

²⁷ But ^(A)Barnabas took him and ^(B)brought him to the apostles and declared to them ^(C)how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and ^(D)how at Damascus he had ^(E)preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

³⁹ Paul replied, ^(A)“I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. I beg you, permit me to speak to the people.”
