Damascus

I had been blinded by the brightness of the light, so my companions led me by the hand into Dammesek.

“On one such occasion, I was traveling to Dammesek with the full authority and power of the head cohanim.

On the contrary, I announced first in Dammesek, then in Yerushalayim and throughout Y’hudah, and also to the Goyim, that they should turn from their sins to God and then do deeds consistent with that repentance.

When I was in Dalmanuta, the governor under King Aretas had the city of Dalmanuta guarded in order to arrest me;

and I did not go up to Yerushalayim to see those who were emissaries before me. Instead, I immediately went off to Arabia and afterwards returned to Dammesek.
