18. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19. And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20. And immediately 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 them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
22. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23. And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
24. But their laying in wait, was known to 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 had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
