“And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.”
So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.—his integration into the apostolic community is swift once verified; Barnabas's word suffices. 'Moved about freely' (poreueto) shows unrestricted access to the community and its mission. The boldness (parrhēsia, 'frank speech,' 'confidence') is a hallmark of apostolic witness and echoes Peter's boldness before the Sanhedrin.
