Acts 9:22

But Saul grew more and more powerful [he developed more and more and became more skilled] and left the Jews in Damascus speechless when he proved (presented scripture after scripture, compared and examined to prove) that Jesus is the Messiah.
[Based on Paul's more detailed account in Gal. 1:17–18, he spent three years in Arabia before going to Jerusalem. Arabia is the great desert east and south of Damascus. It corresponds to present-day Saudi Arabia. Most Bible scholars place this event between verses 22 and 23, and that Saul returns to Damascus after his time in solitude.]
