Acts 9:20-25 - Saul Proclaims Christ In Damascus
20 And in the synagogues he began at once to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God;
21 and his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High Priests?"
22 Saul, however, gained more and more influence, and as for the Jews living in Damascus, he bewildered them with his proofs that Jesus is the Christ.
23 At length the Jews plotted to kill Saul; 24 but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him; 25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
