Answer Details
When Saul escaped from Damascus to Jerusalem after his conversion, the disciples in Jerusalem were afraid of him. This is because Saul, who was previously known for persecuting Christians, had now become a follower of Jesus. The disciples had a hard time believing that he had truly converted and were afraid that he might be pretending in order to infiltrate and harm the Christian community. However, Barnabas, a trusted member of the community, vouched for Saul and helped him to gain acceptance among the disciples.
