Acts 9:20-25 - Saul Proclaims Christ In Damascus
20 And he began at once to proclaim in the synagogues Jesus as the Son of God.
21 His hearers were all astonished, and began to say. "Is not this the very man who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called upon the Name? Did he not come hither for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"
22 But Saul gained more and more influence, and kept putting the Jews who lived in Damascus to confusion by his proof that Jesus was the Christ.
23 And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul; 24 but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him, 25 his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.
