2 Corinthians 11:30-33
Amplified Bible
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that reveal my weakness [the things by which I am made weak in the eyes of my opponents]. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed and to be praised forevermore, knows that I am not lying. 32 In Damascus the [a]governor (ethnarch) under [b]King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus in order to arrest me, 33 and I was [actually] let down in a basket through a [c]window in the wall, and slipped through his fingers.
