Acts 9:26-31 - Saul In Jerusalem
26 When Saul came to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples. They were afraid of him and did not believe he was a disciple. 27 Barnabas led him to the apostles. He declared to them how he had seen the Lord in The Way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 He was with them coming in and going out of Jerusalem. 29 He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He had a dispute with the Greek speaking Jews and they made attempts to kill him. 30 When the brothers detected this they brought him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
31 The congregations throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria, were built up. They walked in deep respect for Jehovah and were comforted by the Holy Spirit and continued to grow.
