And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spoke to me.

Then forthwith they departed from him who were about to examine him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
