Acts 9:20-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁰ Immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”

²¹ All who heard him were amazed and said, “Isn’t this the one who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? Didn’t he come here for this very purpose: to bring them as prisoners to the chief priests?” ²² But Saul continued to get stronger and kept confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

²³ After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him, ²⁴ but Saul was informed of their plot. They were watching the gates both day and night in order to kill him. ²⁵ But his^[a] disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall by lowering him in a basket.^[b]
