Acts 9:1-5,15,17,20

Saul of Tarsus

1 Ὁ δὲ Σαῦλος, ἔτι ἐμπνέων ἀπειλῆς καὶ φόνου εἰς τοὺς μαθητὰς τοῦ Κυρίου, προσελθὼν τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, 2 ᾐτήσατο παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπιστολὰς εἰς Δαμασκὸν πρὸς τὰς συναγωγάς, ὅπως ἐάν τινας εὕρῃ τῆς Ὁδοῦ ὄντας, ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας, δεδεμένους ἀγάγῃ εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

Jesus chooses Saul

Saul starts preaching

20 Καὶ εὐθέως ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς ἐκήρυσσεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν,*ιησουν f35 𝕻45ℵA,B,C [20%] OC,NU ¦ χριστον [80%] HF,RP,TR,CP [To teach that the Messiah was the Son of God would be ‘old hat’, no problem—but Saul was showing that Jesus was God’s Son. Notice the end of verse 22, "this is the Christ"—what is the antecedent of "this"? To say that the Christ is the Christ would be stupid, which neither of the authors is.] ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ.
