19and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

23And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
