24 but their plot became known to Saul. So they were watching the gates day and night intending to kill him,
25 but his disciples took him by night and lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the wall.
26 When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple.
27 Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that He had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Saul was coming and going with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 He conversed and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they attempted to kill him.
30 When the brothers found out, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
