Acts 9:20-25 - Saul Proclaims Christ In Damascus
20 And at once began in the Synagogues to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God.
21 All who heard him were amazed. "Is not this," they asked, "the man who worked havoc in Jerusalem among those that invoke this Name, and who had also come here for the express purpose of having such persons put in chains and taken before the Chief Priests?"
22 Saul's influence, however, kept steadily increasing, and he confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by the proofs that he gave that Jesus was the Christ.
23 After some time the Jews laid a plot to kill Saul, 24 But it became known to him. They even watched the gates day and night, to kill him; 25 But his disciples let him down by night through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
