Acts 9:21 CPDV

¹⁹  And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.

²⁰  And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.

²¹  And all who heard him were astonished, and they said, 'Is this not the one who, in Jerusalem, was fighting against those invoking this name, and who came here for this: so that he might lead them away to the leaders of the priests?'

²²  But Saul was increasing to a greater extent in ability, and so he was confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus, by affirming that he is the Christ.

²³  And when many days were completed, the Jews took counsel as one, so that they might put him to death.
