And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul; but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him, his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket. So he came to Jerusalem, and attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and told them how Saul had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him; and also how he had preached the Name of the Lord Jesus boldly at Damascus.

When they learned this the brothers took him down to Caesarea, and then sent him forth to Tarsus. Now throughout the whole of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria the Church continued to enjoy peace and to be spiritually built up. It was increasing in members also, as it kept walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
