9:26 Saul goes to Yerusalem but has to leave
26 When he got back to Yerusalem, Saul attempted to join in with the believers there but they were all scared of him, not believing that he was a true follower of Yeshua. 27 However Barnabas took Saul and brought him to the twelve, and Saul told them how he had seen the master on the road, and been spoken to by him, and how he had spoken boldly in Damascus in the name and authority of Yeshua. 28 So Saul stayed connected with the believers, going in and out of Yerusalem and speaking boldly in the name and authority of the master. 29 He also talked and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they wanted to kill him, 30 so when the brothers found out, they took Saul down to Caesarea on the coast, and from there sent him on a ship to Tarsus.
31 After that the assemblies[fn] of believers throughout Yudea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and grew in their respect and service of the master, also well as increasing in numbers through the encouragement of the holy spirit.
9:31 Lit. ‘assembly’ (singular). Jonathan Leeman in ‘One Assembly’ makes a good case that the force of κατά ‘throughout’ contributes to making the force of ἐκκλησία plural in this sentence (similar to Luke’s use in Luke 4:14, 23:5, Acts 9:42, 10:37).
