Damascus

And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus.

Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,

but declared both to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judæa, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:

neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
