This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

9:19b Sha’ul starts preaching in Damesek
Then Sha’ul (Saul; Grk. Saulos/Saul) stayed several days with the believers in Damesek (Damascus). 20 He went straight into the Jewish meeting halls and started proclaiming that Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) is God’s son.
21 The hearers were all amazed, saying, “Isn’t this the guy that persecuted the ones following that Yeshua in Yerushalem (Jerusalem), and even came to Damesek to arrest them here and take them back to the chief priests?”
22 But Sha’ul was growing stronger[fn] and he was confounding the Yehudim (Jews) living in Damesek as he taught them that Yeshua is the promised messiah.
23 After several days, the religious Yehudim plotted together to kill him,[ref] 24 but Sha’ul found out about their plan. Those Yehudim were also watching the city exits so they could kill him if he tried leaving, 25 but his supporters took him to the city wall at night time and lowered him down in a basket.
9:22 It’s not clear here whether it means that Saul was growing physically stronger, or that his preaching and debating skills were improving.
