1). During this visit to Jerusalem Jesus appeared to Saul and warned him leave Jerusalem, probably in conjunction with this death threat.

a). Acts 22:17-21 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

22:20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

2). According to Paul, he was only here 15 days.

a). Galatians 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

3). So in 15 days time, Paul stirred up enough trouble by preaching Jesus that he had to flee for his life for the second time  in a short amount of time.
