Acts 9:20-25

20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus ¹in the synagogues, saying, "He is ²the Son of God."

21 All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem ³destroyed those who ⁴called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"

22 But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

23 When ⁵many days had elapsed, ⁶the Jews plotted together to do away with him,

24 but ⁷their plot became known to Saul. ⁸They were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death;

25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering * him in a large basket.
