Compare Luke’s version in ACTS 9:19-30 with Paul’s own version in GALATIANS 1:14-18. Number the following events in chronological order.
__ Grecian Jews in Jerusalem tried to kill Saul.
__ Saul began preaching in the Damascus synagogues.
__ Saul went to Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
__ The brothers sent him off to Tarsus.
__ The brothers got him out of Damascus in a basket.
__ Barnabas brought Saul to the frightened apostles.
__ Saul traveled to Jerusalem but was rejected by the disciples there.
How long did Saul stay in Damascus and Arabia after his conversion (GAL 1:17-18)?
Why do you think he went to Arabia? *
When Saul arrives in Jerusalem how do the disciples react (ACTS 9:26-27)? Who reacted differently?
What was Barnabas’ original name (ACTS 4:36-37)? Who renamed him and why this particular new name?
The root of the word encouragement is courage. What does courage have to do with encouragement?
In ACTS 9:26-28 what were the results of his encouragement? What about in ACTS 11:22-24?
With whom did Saul stay for 15 days after he arrived in Jerusalem (GAL 1:18)? Why do you think he chose to stay with him?
Compare and contrast Peter and Paul. (Think about their backgrounds, heritage, encounters with Christ, ministries…).
ACTS 22:17-21 describes the Lord’s vision to Paul instructing him how to respond to the danger he was in. What was Paul’s protest? Why do you think he protests?
After he was rescued from death threats he was sent away to Tarsus. We can’t be sure how long he was there, but it was probably about five to eight years. Many conclude that the trials referred to in 2 CORINTHIANS 1:23-27 took place during this period. Why? *
Based on ACTS 11:19-30 what caused the gospel to reach as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch?
