009:023 At length the Jews plotted to kill Saul;
009:024 but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him;
009:025 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
009:026 So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself was a disciple.
009:027 Barnabas, however, came to his assistance. He brought Saul to the Apostles, and related to them how, on his journey, he had seen the Lord, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had fearlessly taught in the name of Jesus.
009:028 Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city,
009:029 and speaking fearlessly in the name of the Lord. And he often talked with the Hellenists and had discussions with them.
009:030 But they kept trying to take his life. On learning this, the brethren brought him down to Caesarea, and then sent him by sea to Tarsus.
009:031 The Church, however, throughout the whole of Judaea, Galilee and Samaria, had peace and was spiritually built up; and grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and receiving encouragement from the Holy Spirit.
009:032 Now Peter, as he went to town after town, came down also to God's
people at Lud.
