Bible Comments

Whereupon Or, from that time, as οθεν may be rendered, that ever-memorable time, through the grace of God, giving me inclination and power to obey; I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision With which he was pleased thus miraculously to favour me. But showed first unto them of Damascus Preached first to the Jews there, to which place I was going when the vision was granted me; and afterward to those at Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea In the country towns and villages thereof, as Christ had done; and then to the Gentiles Wherever I came, in my various and widely-extended travels from one country to another; that they should repent Of all their sins, internal and external; and turn to God In heart and life; and do works meet for repentance The repentance which they profess, and the sincerity of which can only be thus evidenced.
