asia_n act._n 16.7_o pareus_n also_o be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n because_o s._n paul_n speak_v before_o king_n agrippa_n how_o he_o preach_v at_o damascus_n and_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o judea_n act._n 26.20_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o his_o preach_n in_o arabia_n but_o see_v there_o be_v three_o year_n run_v after_o s._n paul_n go_v from_o damascus_n to_o arabia_n before_o he_o
