And all who heard were astonished, and said, "Is not this he who destroyed, in Jerusalem, those calling upon this name, and had come here for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the high priests?"

But Saul was being more empowered, and was confounding the Jews who were dwelling in Damascus; proving that this is the Christ.
