Damascus

Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.

In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to everyone in the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds worthy of their repentance.

In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
