WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ Now upon arriving in Jerusalem Saul kept trying to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. ²⁷ But Barnabas took him in tow and brought him to the apostles, and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken fearlessly in the name of the Lord Jesus. ²⁸ So he was with them in Jerusalem, going in and out, and speaking fearlessly in the name of Jesus. ²⁹ He kept on speaking and debating with the Hellenists, so they started trying to kill him.
