But Saul (also known as Paul),<n id="1" /> filled with the Holy Spirit,<n id="2" /> stared straight<n id="3" /> at him

<t /><p class="bodytext">Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats<n id="1" /> to murder<n id="2" /> the Lord&#8217;s disciples, went to the high priest

<p class="bodytext">So Barnabas and Saul returned to<n id="1" /> Jerusalem<n id="2" /> when they had completed<n id="3" /> their mission,<n id="4" /> bringing along with them John Mark.<n id="5" />p>

But Saul was trying to destroy<n id="1" /> the church; entering one house after another, he dragged off<n id="2" /> both men and women and put them in prison.<n id="3" />p>

So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open,<n id="1" /> he could see nothing.<n id="2" /> Leading him by the hand, his companions<n id="3" /> brought him into Damascus.

But Saul became more and more capable,<n id="1" /> and was causing consternation<n id="2" /> among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving<n id="3" /> that Jesus<n id="4" /> is the Christ.<n id="5" />p>

And Saul agreed completely with killing<n id="1" /> him.p><t /><p class="bodytext">Now on that day a great<n id="2" /> persecution began<n id="3" /> against the church in Jerusalem,<n id="4" /> and all<n id="5" /> except the apostles were forced to scatter throughout the regions<n id="6" /> of Judea and Samaria.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch:<n id="1" /> Barnabas, Simeon called Niger,<n id="2" /> Lucius the Cyrenian,<n id="3" /> Manaen (a close friend of Herod<n id="4" /> the tetrarch<n id="5" /> from childhood<n id="6" />) and Saul.
