Acts 9:26-29

26 ^aWhen he came to Jerusalem, he tried repeatedly to associate with the disciples; and yet they were all afraid of him, as they did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But ^bBarnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had ^cseen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how ^dhe had ^espoken out boldly in the name of Jesus at Damascus. 28 And he was with them, ^{▼▼Lit going in and going out}moving about freely in Jerusalem, ^gspeaking out boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he was talking and arguing with the ^{▼▼Jews who adopted the Gr language and much of Gr culture through acculturation
,} ⁱHellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death.
