This first interview was of great consequence to both these apostles, but it was of short duration, for Paul was eager to get about his Master’s business. Soon the voice which had so earnestly disputed with Stephen, was heard in the same synagogue fearlessly proclaiming that Jesus was the Son of God—advocating the same cause that Stephen had died to vindicate. He related his own wonderful experience, and with a heart filled with yearning for his brethren and former associates, presented the evidences from prophecy, as Stephen had done, that Jesus, who had been crucified, was the Son of God. {LP 36.3}

Denne første samtale havde stor betydning for begge disse apostle, men den varede ikke længe, for Paulus var ivrig efter at gå ind i sin Mesters arbejde. Snart blev den stemme, som så ivrigt havde kæmpet med Stefanus, hørt i den samme synagoge og proklamerede frygtløst at Jesus var Guds Søn - forsvarede den samme sag, som Stefanus døde for at forsvare. Han fortalte om sin egen forunderlige erfaring, og med hjertet fyldt af længsel for sine brødre og tidligere sammensvorne, præsenterede beviserne fra profetien, ligesom Stefanus havde gjort, at Jesus, som har været korfæstet, var Guds søn.
