Acts 9:19-22 - Saul Proclaims Jesus In Synagogues
19 then ate a meal and received strength. And he stayed on for a number of days with the disciples at Damascus. 20 And so Saul began proclaiming that Jesus was the Son of God in the synagogues [of the Damascus area].
21 And everyone who heard him was amazed and exclaimed, "Is this not the man who tried to destroy all the people who called on [Jesus'] name in Jerusalem and has now come here [to Damascus] for the purpose of arresting them and bringing them before the leading priests?"
22 But Saul was strengthened [spiritually] and proceeded to confound the Jews living [there] in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.
