Acts 9:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ But Barnabas ·accepted [or took hold of] Saul and took him to the apostles. Barnabas explained to them that Saul had seen the Lord on the road and the Lord had spoken to Saul. Then he told them how ·boldly [fearlessly] Saul had preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

²⁸ And so Saul stayed with the ·followers [disciples], ·going everywhere [or going around openly with them; ^Lgoing in and going out] in Jerusalem, preaching ·boldly [fearlessly] in the name of the Lord. ²⁹ He would often talk and ·argue [debate] with the ·Jewish people who spoke Greek [^LHellenists; ^CJews who spoke Greek and had returned to Israel after living abroad], but they were trying to kill him.
