Damascus was a significant city in Syria, known for its diverse population and as a center of trade. Paul's initial preaching in Damascus highlights the immediate transformation and boldness in his new faith. Jerusalem, the heart of Jewish worship and tradition, was where Paul had previously persecuted Christians. His return there to preach signifies a powerful testimony of change and redemption. This sequence underscores the fulfillment of Jesus' command to be witnesses in Jerusalem and beyond ( Acts 1:8). Then to everyone in the region of Judea
Judea, the region surrounding Jerusalem, was predominantly Jewish and steeped in the traditions of the Old Testament. Paul's message to Judea represents the continuation of the gospel's spread among the Jewish people, fulfilling the prophecy that the Messiah would be a light to the Jews first (Isaiah 49:6). This outreach also reflects the early church's mission strategy, which prioritized the Jewish population before extending to the Gentiles. And then to the Gentiles
The inclusion of the Gentiles marks a significant shift in the early Christian mission, aligning with God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed (Genesis 12:3). Paul's role as the apostle to the Gentiles (Romans 11:13) was pivotal in the expansion of Christianity beyond Jewish boundaries, fulfilling the prophecy of a universal gospel (Isaiah 42:6). This outreach to the Gentiles also demonstrates the breaking down of the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles, as described inEphesians 2:14. I declared that they should repent and turn to God
Repentance is a central theme in both the Old and New Testaments, calling for a change of mind and heart towards God. This message echoes the preaching of John the Baptist (Matthew 3:2) and Jesus (Mark 1:15), emphasizing the necessity of repentance for salvation. Turning to God implies a complete reorientation of one's life, aligning with the call to forsake idols and false beliefs, as seen in the prophets' messages (Ezekiel 14:6). Performing deeds worthy of their repentance
True repentance is evidenced by a transformed life, as seen in the fruits of repentance (Matthew 3:8). This concept is rooted in the teachings of the prophets, who called for justice, mercy, and humility (Micah 6:8). The emphasis on deeds aligns with James' teaching that faith without works is dead (James 2:17). This phrase underscores the expectation that genuine faith results in a life that reflects God's righteousness and holiness. Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus)The apostle who is speaking in this passage, recounting his ministry and the message he preached. 2. DamascusThe city where Paul first began his ministry after his conversion on the road to Damascus. 3. JerusalemThe central city of Jewish worship and a significant location in Paul's ministry. 4. JudeaThe region surrounding Jerusalem, where Paul also preached the message of repentance. 5. GentilesNon-Jewish people to whom Paul extended his ministry, emphasizing the universal nature of the Gospel. Teaching Points Repentance as a Turning PointTrue repentance involves a change of mind and heart, leading to a transformation in behavior. It is not merely feeling sorry for sin but turning away from it and towards God. The Universality of the GospelPaul's ministry to both Jews and Gentiles highlights the inclusive nature of the Gospel. Salvation through Christ is available to all, regardless of background or ethnicity. Deeds as Evidence of FaithGenuine repentance will manifest in actions. Our deeds should reflect the change that has occurred within us, serving as evidence of our faith and commitment to God. The Role of Obedience in FaithObedience to God's commands is a natural outcome of true repentance and faith. It is through our actions that we demonstrate our love and devotion to God. The Importance of WitnessingPaul's example encourages believers to share the message of repentance and faith with others, fulfilling the Great Commission and expanding the reach of the Gospel.

13.What happened during Saul's Damascus Road conversion?
14.Why does Paul's account of his own conversion in Acts contradict his letters?What Does Acts 26:20 Mean First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem• Paul’s obedience to the risen Christ began right where he was saved (Acts 9:3–20). • In Damascus he “immediately began to proclaim Jesus” (Acts 9:20). • Returning to Jerusalem, he “spoke boldly in the name of the Lord” (Acts 9:28), echoing the pattern Jesus foretold inActs 1:8: witness starts locally. • God honors faithfulness in the place He first plants us; the gospel’s reach begins in our own circles before it fans out.
Then to everyone in the region of Judea• The message radiated from the capital to the surrounding countryside, fulfillingIsaiah 49:6, “I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.” •Acts 9:31 notes, “the church throughout Judea…was strengthened,” showing Paul’s preaching helped establish a solid foundation among Jewish communities. • This stage underscores that God desires the whole covenant people to hear before He presses farther outward (Romans 1:16).
Then to the Gentiles• Paul’s commission inActs 22:21—“Go, I will send you far away to the Gentiles”—explodes the gospel beyond ethnic Israel. •Acts 13:46 records Paul and Barnabas turning to non-Jews because many in Israel rejected the word. • The Gentile mission demonstrates God’s long-promised inclusion of all nations (Genesis 12:3;Ephesians 3:6). • Our takeaway: no cultural or racial boundary excuses us from sharing Christ; salvation is for all.
I declared that they should repent and turn to God• Repentance is more than remorse; it is a decisive change of mind and heart leading to a change of direction (Acts 3:19; 17:30). • “Turn to God” highlights faith’s positive side—trusting in Christ’s finished work (Acts 16:31). • Paul keeps message content simple and consistent everywhere: repent, believe, receive forgiveness (Acts 20:21).
Performing deeds worthy of their repentance• Genuine repentance produces visible fruit (Luke 3:8;Matthew 3:8). • Paul insists on a faith that acts—“faith working through love” (Galatians 5:6) and “works prepared in advance” (Ephesians 2:10). • Examples of worthy deeds: – Abandoning idols (1 Thessalonians 1:9) – Making restitution like Zacchaeus (Luke 19:8) – Pursuing holiness (Titus 2:11-14) • Such deeds do not earn salvation; they verify its reality (James 2:17).
summaryActs 26:20 shows Paul’s gospel strategy and gospel substance: start where God places you, expand outward until every people group hears; call everyone to repent, believe, and live changed lives that confirm God’s transforming grace. (20) But shewed . . .--The verb is in the tense which sums up a long-continued activity, and stands in the Greek after the enumeration of those to whom the Apostle preached: But first to them of Damascus . . . and to the Gentiles I went on showing . . . Throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles.--The words refer, in the first instance, to the visit after St. Paul's conversion (see Notes onActs 9:29;Galatians 1:17-18); but the special mention of the Gentiles as following upon "the coasts (i.e.,theregion) of Judaea," points to an evangelising activity in Cilicia prior to the commencement of his work at Antioch. That they should repent . . .--The three stages of the spiritual life are accurately noted: (1) the repentance for past sins, which is more than a regret for their consequences; (2) the "turning to God," which implies faith in Him, as far as He is known, and therefore justification; (3) the doing works meet for repentance (we note the reproduction of the Baptist's phrase; see Note onMatthew 3:8), which are the elements of a progressive sanctification. Verse 20.- Declared for showed, A.V.; both to them of Damascus first for first unto them of Damascus, A.V. and T.R.; country for coasts, A.V.; also for then, A.V.; doing for and do, A.V.; worthy of for meet for, A.V. Them of Damascus first, etc. He enumerates his evangelical labors in the order in which they took place: at Damascus first, as related in Acts 9:19-22; then at Jerusalem, as in Acts 9:26-29; and then those on a larger and wider scale, among the Jews of Palestine and the heathen in all the countries which he visited. Throughout all the country of Judaea. This does not allude to any preaching in the land of Judaea at the time of his first visit to Jerusalem ( Acts 9:25), because he says in Galatians 1:22, that at that time, viz. before he went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, he was still " unknown by face unto the Churches of Judaea." But he had opportunities later of preaching in Judaea. For instance, the language of Acts 11:29 suggests that such an opportunity may have arisen when Paul and Barnabas carried up the alms of the Christians at Antioch "unto the brethren that dwelt in Judaea." Another opportunity he manifestly had when he passed with Barnabas through Phoenicia and Samaria to Jerusalem, as related in Acts 15:3. Another, when he went from Caesarea to Jerusalem, as related in Acts 18:22. Again, there was room for working among the Jews in Palestine while he was staying at Caesarea "many days," and journeying to Jerusalem, as we read in Acts 21:10, 15. So that there is no contradiction whatever between the statement in this verse and that in Galatians 1:22. The clauses in this verse are two: (1) "both to them at Damascus, and at Jerusalem first;" and (2) "and throughout all Judaea, and to the Gentiles."
