Acts 9:2

and asked for letters [with arrest warrants] to the synagogues in Damascus. The plan was to arrest all who belonged to the Way [the name given to the early Christians at that time, see John 14:6], men and women alike, and bring them back to Jerusalem. [Damascus is located six days' journey north of Jerusalem. The city was one of the largest in the Dekapolis, an area consisting of ten cities. After Stephen's death, when persecution broke out, many Christians fled to nearby areas, see Acts 8:1. The fact that Saul now travels as far as Damascus indicates that he had already purged many cities closer to Jerusalem of believers. In Acts 26:11, Luke quotes Saul, then known as Paul, describing this period of his life nearly thirty years later: “I punished them repeatedly in the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. In my wild fury, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.”]
