At times, Paul was perhaps approached by brothers in the various congregations he visited, brothers meeting him for the first time, saying, ‘ So you’re Paul ​ — you’re the one who persecuted us! ’ ​ — Acts 9: 21.
وَلَعَلَّ بُولُسَ كَانَ فِي زِيَارَتِهِ لِلْجَمَاعَاتِ يَلْتَقِي أَحْيَانًا إِخْوَةً يَرَاهُمْ لِلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى ،‏ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ :‏ ‹ إِذًا ،‏ أَنْتَ هُوَ بُولُسُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَضْطَهِدُنَا !‏ › .‏ —‏ اع ٩ :‏ ٢١‏ .‏
