20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 But all that heard him were amazed and said, Is not this he that destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem and came here for that intent that he might bring them bound unto the princes of the priests?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 And as many days passed, the Jews took counsel among themselves to kill him;
24 but their ambushes were understood by Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Then the disciples took him by night and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him and did not believe that he was a disciple.
