"They only heard the report: 'The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.' And they praised God because of me." (NIV)
Although the Jews/Christians in the churches of Judea did not know who the convert in the reports was, they openly rejoiced and praised God that a former opponent was now a fierce ally. It didn't matter who the convert was; it only mattered that God had turned him onto the right path. And the members of the Judean churches did not merely rejoice that they were safe, but they also thanked and praised God for His awesome works that could not have been done by anything but a miracle.
