In the power of the Spirit, Paul related the story of his own miraculous conversion and of his confidence in the Old Testament Scriptures, which had been so completely fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. His words were spoken with solemn earnestness, and his hearers could not but discern 248 that he loved with all his heart the crucified and risen Saviour. They saw that his mind was centered in Christ, that his whole life was bound up with his Lord. So impressive were his words, that only those who were filled with the bitterest hatred against the Christian religion could stand unmoved by them.

I Åndens kraft fortalte Paulus historien om sin egen forunderlige omvendelse og om sin tillid til de gammeltestamentlige skrifter, som var gået så fuldstændig i opfyldelse ved Jesus fra Nazaret. Hans ord blev talt med højtidelig alvor, og hans tilhørere kunne ikke undgå at føle, at han af sit ganske hjerte elskede den korsfæstede og opstandne Frelser. De så, at alle hans tanker kredsede om Kristus, at hele hans liv var knyttet til hans Herre. Så betagende var hans tale, at kun de, som var opfyldt af det bitreste had mod den kristne religion, kunne forblive uberørte af den.
