Acts 9:20-25 - Saul Proclaims Christ In Damascus
20 And so Saul began proclaiming that Jesus was the Son of God in the synagogues [of the Damascus area].
21 And everyone who heard him was amazed and exclaimed, "Is this not the man who tried to destroy all the people who called on [Jesus'] name in Jerusalem and has now come here [to Damascus] for the purpose of arresting them and bringing them before the leading priests?"
22 But Saul was strengthened [spiritually] and proceeded to confound the Jews living [there] in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.
23 And after a number of days had passed [these] Jews conspired together to kill Saul, 24 but he found out about their plan. And so they watched the gates [of the city] day and night [looking for their chance] to kill him. 25 [However], his disciples lowered him in a basket over the [city] wall at night [and so he escaped].
