OET-LV But Saulos/(Shāʼūl) was_being_ more _strengthened, and was_confounding Youdaiōns which dwelling in Damaskos, teaching that this one is the chosen_one/messiah.
OET (OET-RV) 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.
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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ συνέχυννεν τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Δαμασκῷ, συμβιβάζων ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Σαῦλος Δέ μᾶλλον ἐνεδυναμοῦτο καί συνέχυννεν Ἰουδαίους τούς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Δαμασκῷ συμβιβάζων ὅτι οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ Χριστός)
Saul was not intentionally stirring up the Jews. They became agitated because they could not find a way to refute Saul’s arguments that Jesus was the Messiah. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [As he proved that Jesus is the Christ, the Jews living in Damascus became agitated]
