Come and help me. These people are too powerful for me. I know that you have great power. If you bless a person, then good things happen to him. And if you speak against a person, then bad things happen to him. So come and speak against these people. Maybe then I will be able to defeat them. Then I can force them to leave my country.”
The \{Jews\} living in Jerusalem and the Jewish leaders did not realize that \{Jesus\} was the Savior. The words that the prophets {\cf2\super [268]} wrote \{about Jesus\} were read to the Jews every Sabbath day, {\cf2\super [269]} but they did not understand. The Jews condemned Jesus. When they did this, they made the words of the prophets come true!
The high priest {\cf2\super [437]} and the whole council of older Jewish leaders can tell you that this is true! One time these leaders gave me some letters. The letters were to the Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there to arrest the followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.
