“And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.”
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.—physical restoration (eating, regaining strength) mirrors spiritual restoration. His stay with the Damascus disciples marks the beginning of his integration into the very community he came to persecute. The Pauline reversal begins: the hunter becomes the hunted, the persecutor becomes the persecuted.
