"Give me also this power of yours, so that, if I place my hands upon any one, he may receive the Holy Spirit."

And asked him to give him letters to the Jewish congregations at Damascus, authorizing him, if he found there any supporters of the Cause, whether men or women, to have them put in chains and brought to Jerusalem.
