Acts 26:19-23

Naturally, Paul could not disobey a voice from heaven, so he preached the gospel in Damascus and Jerusalem, both to the Jews and Gentiles. Notice, his preaching included the necessity of repentance, a turning toward God and living a life showing the works of repentance. Such preaching enraged the Jews and caused them to seize him in the temple and try to kill him. It was only by God's help, according to Paul, that he was still alive to tell Agrippa that Moses and the prophets had said the Christ would suffer, rise from the dead and spread the good news among Jews and Gentiles (Acts 26:19-23).
