Acts 9:26-30
Modern English Version

Saul in Jerusalem

26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples. But they all feared him, not believing he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and led him to the apostles, and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had boldly preached in Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 So he stayed with them while coming in and going out of Jerusalem. 29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Hellenists. But they tried to kill him. 30 When the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

Saul in Jerusalem

26 And when he[a] arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they[b] did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and[c] brought him[d] to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was going in and going out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews,[e] but they were trying to do away with him. 30 And when[f] the brothers found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
