Kisah Para Rasul 9:26-27

Saul Returns to Jerusalem

9:26 When he arrived in Jerusalem, ¹  he attempted to associate ²  with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe ³  that he was a disciple. 9:27 But Barnabas took ⁴  Saul, ⁵  brought ⁶  him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, that ⁷  the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly ⁸  in the name of Jesus.
