Acts 9:20 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 9.

16 I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”

17 So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

18 At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,

19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.

20 Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”

21 All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

24 but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
